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

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

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 hope the vikins pick him up imagine pederson and lj and farve oh my

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.

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

^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.

MTK · 11-09-2009, 12:15 PM

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.

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

Vet Min Baby!

only kidding.

SolidSnake84 · 11-09-2009, 12:37 PM

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...

Paintrain · 11-09-2009, 12:40 PM

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

Lotus · 11-09-2009, 01:17 PM

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