You did notice I was being sarcastic right? SFREDSKIN 11-10-2009, 06:47 PM He was interviewed on the Dan Patrick show about 45 minutes ago and he seemed to be a very articulate, intelligent guy, kind of impressed by him. Too bad his actions speak louder. MTK 11-10-2009, 08:16 PM If a team picks LJ up off the waiver wire (which means before 4 PM eastern time on 11/10), then that acquiring team also picks up his moneies owed. And LJ is carrying a 2.1Mill price tag right now. The "Waiver Wire" is done in the order of the draft, each team gets a chance in that order to pick him up. If no team picks him up off the wire (before 4PM EST), then he becomes and unrestricted free agent and can be signed by any team, but, the contract negotiations start all over and he looses that 2.1 mill. No, the Chiefs owe him. It was written in his contract. Normally that is correct though. No team claimed running back Larry Johnson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4485) off waivers, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter, which means Johnson now is free to sign with any team and the Kansas City Chiefs (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=kan) must pay him the balance of the $2.1 million left on his contract this season.

I mean, it is money, but does he really wanna get back on the Skins bandwagon after they've repeatedly cut him? What are his options right now? I mean we are talking about a 53rd roster spot kind of guy. T.O.Killa 11-10-2009, 08:19 PM If the Skins call he will come running. They pay like twenty grand a game. SFREDSKIN 11-10-2009, 08:37 PM He's going to end up with the Texans. sandtrapjack 11-10-2009, 10:23 PM No, the Chiefs owe him. It was written in his contract. Normally that is correct though.

We are far enough into the season that waivers work in order of current records, not previous draft position. For example, the Redskins drafted 13th but now are around position 6 (depending on tiebreakers) for waivers.
