Whither Froomkin?

I haven't anything interesting to add to the general cluck-clucking about the Washington Post's dumping of Dan Froomkin (for all you need to know, read Glenn Greenwald or Paul Krugman). But the next question would be: what happens next? Froomkin is certainly a marketable property and, considering that the Post didn't pay him all that much anyway, compensation shouldn't be a barrier.

There are any number of plausible answers to this question. For myself, I'll take a flutter on Josh Marshall, who could readily deploy Froomkin in his ongoing campaign to supplant the New York Times.
