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.

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.

If you ask around here...Huard was the offense last year. Second best QB in the league.

Do I smell sarcasm? Of course we all should know that the Chiefs' offensive playbook is titled "Larry Johnson". While Huard deserves credit for playing mistake-free and doing a good job off the bench, there's no way he would have had as high of a passer rating without 8 guys looking at LJ every play.
