CHIEFS SHOPPING L.J., TOO
Posted by Mike Florio on October 12, 2008, 12:36 p.m.
At a time when the Chiefs are actively talking to other teams about a trade of tight end Tony Gonzalez, Jay Glazer of FOX reports that they also are shopping running back Larry Johnson.

It’d be a wise move to move L.J., as we pointed out in last week’s Ten-Pack for SportingNews.com. Really, who needs a high-end running back when the team is routinely going to be abandoning the run?

The problem is that the Chiefs will have a hard time finding someone to assume Johnson’s contract, and his reputation for surliness. (The other problem is that, barring a catastrophic injury on Sunday, no contending team needs a tailback of L.J.’s ilk. Except for maybe the Broncos, but the Chiefs would likely resist trading Johnson within the division.)

Johnson is signed for four more seasons, with base salaries of $2.5 million in 2008, $4.55 million in 2009, $5 million in 2010, $5.3 million in 2011, and $5.9 million in 2012.

And let the fire sale begin!!!

They should trade him if they can get any value for him. That team will not be any good during LJ's remaining years as a productive back (assuming he has any left). They need to rebuild from the ground up. Get as many first day picks as they can for LJ and Gonzalez and get a new foundation in.

Fortunately, they probably won't do any of that, because the team is run by nitwits.

I think the Chiefs have like 35 million dollars in cap space. They will be alright.

i doubt there are any teams dumb enough to give up what it would take to get LJ from the Chiefs and then pay him the insane contract the Chiefs gave him.
