Interesting Info on LJ

**wildcat** · 03-28-2009, 11:12 AM

I have been wondering for a while if LJ's legal troubles violate his contract, thus allowing the Chiefs to cut him and completely remove him from the books (including guaranteed money). This article pretty much answers that question for me.

Chiefs, Larry Johnson to Meet Over*Contract - Arrowhead Pride

I do not think a team would usually exercise their right to cut a big time player without keeping their commitment in regards to guaranteed money, but in this case Larry has repeatedly violated his contract and stated that he does not want to be part of the team.

My guess is that Larry will either sign a new contract at a great discount, or he will be cut. I am almost certain he will be cut.

I bet LJ spits at the idea of being a blocking running back.

If he spits on the idea then we are no farther behind than where we stand right now.

If LJ ever wants to sign another contract with anyone in the league again, he will STFU and do what he is told.

Either way, LJ takes a pounding or LJ does not get paid in 2010!!

K.C. CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. As much as I would like to see his sorry butt gone, if he can get his crap together on the field, he could be a very important factor in the Chiefs winning the AFC West this year!!

Wow and I thought I was a Hawkeye Homer. I would love to get Shonn Greene but realistically he had a great year 1 great year, for him to be taken off the board at a higher pick then Adrian Peterson (7th overall). I would like to get Greene in the third of fourth round. I feel he may very well have the character that LJ lacks.

Yeah. That one was a bit of a stretch, wasn't it?

Not much has come out about his character, but his work ethic has come into question.
