Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
With L. Johnson and Edge being available, I don't see any team trading with us for Portis (not that it was realistic, but still). I wonder if the Browns will pick up L. Johnson.

The guy is a cancer, he might as well retire.

WOW they got a lot of money tied up in him to release him don't they

Larry Johnson = Shaun Alexander

Clinton Portis = Shaun Alexander

Johnson and Portis have the old running back syndrome aka the Shaun Alexander complex. The use to be premier running backs but cease to run hard. They choose to fall down on contact or perceived contact or run out of bounds.

Good move for KC. F him, dont want to see that cancer near Fed Ex. In a locker room that is already weak with leadership, adding him would be a huge mistake.

LJ won't be on the market on long. He's still good.

Can you tell me what part of my initial post said anything about him coming to Fed Ex?

Really? Clinton Portis = Shaun Alexander? You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

Re: Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
He'll probably clear waivers first because he's owed $2.1 million in base and I think like $500k in bonuses, so no one's going to sign him right away.

shaun alexander was a complete and utter product of an offensive line and fullback that got very little respect for what they had actually done

they had turned a scrub running back into a record breaker and a perennial all pro

shaun alexander wasnt a good running back but he was getting a lot of credit for what steve hutchinson and mack strong were actually doing

clinton portis and jarry johnson get their numbers behind pretty bad lines and not one great standout.....thats not even close to the right comparison

Not too surprised. He only has himself to blame with his attitude problems. But that tweet he sent out was funny. Not the making fun of gays, but what he said about Haley. I never knew the guy NEVER play any football in his entire life. That's pretty pathetic that he's got an NFL job and never ever played any football on any level.

Ruhskins 11-09-2009 11:23 AM

Re: Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
Not that I'm excusing or justifying Johnson, but I believe he did want out of KC when the new regime took over in KC. I still don't know why teams are bent on keeping players that don't want to play for their team. I think a 7th rounder for him would have been better than whatever cap hit they are going to take with this cut.

Re: Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
funny he gets cut when he is within like 30 yards of being the chiefs all time leading rusher. its close to retirement time for L.J. good back in his prime

Re: Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
I could maybe--maybe-- see someone like, hate to say it, Pats or the Colts picking up LJ.

The only reason I'm relunctant to say the Colts is because they're undefeated and they aren't looking for any drama, but he would be a good addition to help pound the ball once they get deep into the playoffs. The Pats just because it's their M.O.

I agree. A smarter move by the Chiefs would have been to get whatever they could for him last spring. Hindsight...

Nothing at all. I was stating I didnt want to see him on the team. I cant post my opinion of him and state I dont want him on the team? I didnt say F U...good god man. I just fear our FO.

Actually I take my comment back because I just saw on ESPN rumors that they have the Skins as a possible interested team. :doh:

Like him or not, IMO he is far better than what we have on the roster now. take a chance and see what happens,1 yr contract ala Cedric Benson. if we could be so lucky.

Chico23231 11-09-2009 12:11 PM

Re: Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
^Not me, I think if you really are serious about rebuilding why start with a guy like this. He has had character issues for awhile. Bringing LJ here is not going to turn around this team with the speed we would all like. Its going to take a handful of players on offense, and with LJ's attitude, it is really not worth it. Id pass without thinking twice.

We already suck! What could it hurt? Team cohesion?

He's too high risk even for the Skins. I wouldn't be surprised if nobody picks him up this year.

Deuce isn't playing...I can't see why anyone would pick up LJ.

Re: Chiefs Release L. Johnson
 
I'm for veteran minimum plus incentives. He is the same age as Portis, but he doesnt have the wear and tear, or injury problems. His attitude might be bad, but so is Portis' at this point.

Anyone who can help this team should get a chance...

[quote=saden1;622741]Really? Clinton Portis = Shaun Alexander? You don't know what the hell you're talking about.[/quote]

He kinda does and kinda does not know what he's talking about.....

Alexander (TTB) is, in my oppinion, more like Cartwright in the sense that both will dance in the back field waiting for a hole that a mack truck could drive through opens up then they try to hit the hole. Otherwise they run more East/West and losing yrds here and there doing so.

but...lately Portis has been doing the same thing. Not sure if this has anything to do with him losing weight over the summer to try and become a speedier/shiftier RB or what. Portis used to be a hard hitting run over you type of RB but since last yr and into this yr he seems to get stopped at the goal line, not hitting the holes or getting washed up in them, and slower.

I hate to say it cause I'm not a fan favorite of Betts or Cartwright but when both were put in the game together they seemed to get more yrds vs. Portis and Sellers.

No thanks. He'll end up somewhere though, he's got a little bit left.

Dang. Now we can't trade our first round pick to KC for him.

according to a thread on "that [I]other[/I] redskins forum"106.7 is reporting that the skins are interested.
