The next 24 hours should tell whether LJ is:
1) Gone
2) Trade bait-perhaps packaged with a draft pick to improve our 3rd round pick.
3) Going to get a chance to plead his case for another chance to prove his worth.
Should be interesting
All of the "he didnt try," " he stopped running hard" crap is a joke. He hasnt had anybody to run behind or the the threat of a passing game for years. LJ is the man and whatever team he plays for next year will find that out!!
If Larry is our running back next year of coarse i hope he is seccessful, but I just dont see it. There comes a point when you have to cut your losses though and cut out the cancer before it effects the body. This has never been a team sport for LJ, hes selfish, selfcentered, and usless when the ball is not in his hands. If he would throw out a block on a pass play, or at least pretent to catch a pass out of the back feild when the qb is under pressure i might have diffrent feelings. The off the field issues are just the icing on the cake. He needs to improve his game and show hes worth that monster contract. I will take alot to get me back on the Johnson bandwagon again... but not impossable.
So he shouldn't have to try because he had a crappy O line? Seems odd but OK, as far as LJ being "the man" somewhere else, he is gonna be in his 30s when we are done with him. (assuming he is still here for the '09 season) The chances of him being successful as the main RB on any team in his 30s are pretty damn slim. But I guess since LJ can do no wrong in your eyes then he will be just fine!! :bananen_smilies046:
But please don't preach about how hard LJ tried. I can run two yards and fall down, and I will do it for half the price.
Chiefs | L. Johnson wants to stay
Adam Teicher, of The Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson wants to continue playing for the team, according to his agent, Peter Schaffer. The Chiefs won a grievance against Johnson when a special master ruled Monday, April 6, that $3.75 million of his salary in 2009 and 2010 was no longer guaranteed. The ruling stated that Johnson forfeited his right to the guaranteed money when he was suspended for a game for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. "He's excited about the direction the team is going in," Schaffer said. "What happened today has no bearing on Larry's desire to play for the Chiefs. Larry Johnson's entire focus is to prepare for the 2009 season. He's a member of the Kansas City Chiefs and wants to help them win a Super Bowl. He didn't even attend the hearing last week. He was actually at the Chiefs' practice facility when it was going on. He didn't even ask about it."

very good LJ.
I'm going to be a super super un-happy chief fan if LJ is not on the team for the 09 season.
SUPER un-happy.
He's got a good attitude, he hasn't gotten in trouble or even hinted at getting in trouble. seems he is working hard and wants to genuinely turn his life around.
