Larry Johnson to the Eagles?

Uh, no. But on some planet other than Earth, Yahoo sports columnist Jason Cole raises the possibility of Philadelphia as a destination for LJ in the wake of his threat to hold out for a new contract.

 

Cole’s reasoning? The Eagles have more than $10 million in cap space. “Westbrook is nice, but he's no Johnson, who is a premier power back,” writes Cole. Did this guy miss the draft when the Eagles picked Tony Hunt, a very-LJ like runner, even down to the school from whence they came (Penn St), or not notice that Andy Reid prefers more versatile runners?
