At this point, I'd seriously take a very late draft pick for him.
First job by the new GM after firing Herm is make sure you trade LJ. I'm tired of his cancer, and he demands a trade like 2-3 times a year.As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for a major offseason overhaul of the front office and, possibly, the entire coaching staff, one of the team’s few star players has made it clear that he wants out of town.
“It has everything to do with the environment,” running back Larry Johnson said after Sunday’s season-ending loss to the Bengals. ”The city is tired of me, and the organization and I have run our course together. It’s time to move on for me. There could be 100 changes. It’s time for me to go.”
Johnson should have considered this reality before holding out in 2007 for a big-money deal. The cap hit associated with dumping Johnson might be more than the team is willing to absorb.
The 2003 first-round draft pick, whom many regarded as a potential problem coming out of Penn State, became a star after several years of riding the pine.
But he’s been nothing but trouble since getting paid. Injuries marred his first year after getting that high-end contract, and a string of off-field incidents involving alleged misconduct against women finally caught up with him earlier this year.
And, as a result, there’s a very real question as to whether anyone else will want him.
At this point, I'd seriously take a very late draft pick for him.
