DJ is still playing great and shows no signs of slowing down, but linebackers tend to fall off quickly at the very end of their careers. (See: Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs.) I would love for the Chiefs to lock him in to a two year extension before he hits the free agent market, with most of the guaranteed money coming in the first year. If he is still playing well at 35 he would have another opportunity to cash in again.
I don't know much about Johnson as a person, but he appears to be a high character guy. However the free agent market is very tempting. The next contract will likely be his last and he may be looking to get as much money as he can out of it. You KNOW a desperate team will probably offer him more than the Chiefs could afford to match so the Chiefs will need to be looking for his replacement right away either through the draft or a short term FA guy.
Does anyone know if Zombo would be any good on the inside or is he strictly an OLB? Houston, Zombo, Mauga, Hali still looks pretty solid to me.
