trade value for derick johnsom

**kcred** · 01-03-2010, 11:15 PM

I have to think D J. Could. Start for any team needing a lb. He is better than any line backer in the draft due to the fact that he is just hitting his prime. A first
round pic is what they should ask for .
Any thought on this.

Hali, DJ, Demario, Rookie stud LB in draft for start of 010 season.

This. Definitely this.

He has very little trade value because he is a free agent this season. Any trade would have to also include an agreed upon contract and I just don't see too many teams going through that kind of trouble.

He is a restricted free agent, so I would think if he is offered enough money over his current contract we would go with the draft pick, if he is offered less, we will match it.

A trade is not in his future.

He played great today, and he had one or two other games, but where was he the whole season?

Riding the pine.

In a KCSTAR, I read were Haley and DJ talked before the game and Haley told him to get him a pick or something. That when he has a chance to play, show him something. DO you think DJ took that to heart.
Something I've been thinking about for awhile. I like Vrabel and think he can still play, but he has lost a step and no longer the pass rushing threat he once was. I still woulld to keep him , but move him to ILB. draft Von Miller, Texas A&M in the second rd.
WE would then have Miller LOLB, Vrabel, ILB, DJ, ILB and Hali ROLB. To me that goup of LB's would look real good.

LOL @ 1st round pick.

Matt Millen is no longer in the NFL.
Maybe if Isiah Thomas were given an NFL team, but that's never going to happen.

Haha 1st round pick.

They'll probably slap him with a 2nd round tender and see how things go. If nobody's interested, he'll be a Chief for at least 1 more year.

yea trade the guy and have to draft another one?? doesnt make sence..

DJ was similar to Jamaal Charles this year in that he got in Haley's doghouse early, which cost him playing time. With the whole debacle with LJ, Charles finally got to prove the coach wrong. It seemed like when he got a chance, DJ made some plays here and there and I think he has to be one of our few holdovers on defense for 2010.
