How much do you think LJ is worth?

Just thinking how LJ ranks to LT. He's no LT, but he's not that far behind. The Vikings signed rookie Peterson for more than we are offering LJ, and he has a major injury on his record AND has never played a down in the NFL. LJ may be no LT, but he definitely plays a vital role on this team. I think that Carl needs to take some of that money from the increased price of tickets and parking and give some of it to LJ instead of pocketing it. I know it's a business to him, but you still have to know what your largest assets are worth. It's worth paying a little more now rather than screwing yourself in the long run.

Anyway, enough rambling...what do you think LJ is worth? And I mean to us, not what kind of deals we can get in a trade situation.

What sucks is everybody is right! But at what x-pense?
Compared to $$ teams the chiefs are cheap! If I were LJ -I'd play for love of the game.(not) But-Were stuck at $$. I am a firm believer of the "O" line first, 2nd Q back, and the running back 3'rd...etc Do the chiefs have enough running backs? We shall see how this drama plays out. Is this a soap? That's why they get the big bucks. From fellow N.D. Jamestown born..I give up!

All I know is I love to hear " TOUCHDOWN KAAANSAS CITY!! " And I hope LJ is there this season to make that happen.

That being said, I do think the Adrien Peterson contracts almost forces us to give him at least 18 million guaranteed and 50 mil over 5 years.

I wasn't too far off guys.

LJ is a good RB and carried the team on his back last year when the rest of the offense wasn't producing. However, I think the guaranteed money is a little out of whack. It is for almost all sports. Someone had mentioned earlier that they deserve the money as they may get hurt and their career is over. Well, a lot of people have those types of careers but don't get paid crap.

I'm glad LJ signed and is back. I just think the money thing for most players is ridiculous. When the rookies sign big contracts and not even play a game. Contracts should all be incentive based. Most of the time it seems that players get worse after signing big contracts.
