take how much the entire offense makes and give 90% to LJ for running the ball, 9% to the linemen for their shitty blocking, and 1% to the qb for handing the ball off to him

The sad thing about this situation is that the consensus seems to be that we should trade him. However, no one is going to give us top compensation for him when they will have to turn around and give him a ridiculous contract. It's the same situation as when Seattle was trying to trade Alexander a year or two ago. They wanted a 1st, but the most anyone offered was a 2nd, so they bit the bullet and paid him.

I would love to see us trade him and get a Herschel Walker type package in return, but that's not realistic these days.

well that sucks ......... will make it harder to trade him.


if buffalo will give their 1st and 3rd ... we should be all over that.


in fact, if any team in the top half of the first round is willing to give a 1st and 3rd we shouldn't even want to the draft starts.

First, let's remember that, as King Pink, he does have a realm/kingdom with many damsels to maintain and please...and they don't come cheap!!

Second, we'd do well to either run the crap out of him this year and release him, OR trade him now for another 1st round pick and a conditional 1st round pick in '08.

This place is reading like Finheaven after Carl asked for a 2nd & 7th for Green

Alexander only got $15M guaranteed...

That contract wasn't a cap buster.

I'd like to have an 11-inch dick and a lifetime supply of pizza and beer.

Sadly, wanting something doesn't make it happen, especially something crazy.

Good luck with that, LJ.

Ten pages for what amounts to contract negotiations? LJs agent threw out a ridiculously high number. Whoopty-do. This is a reaction to CP's suggestion that he is shopping LJ. Other teams will be less interested in a trade if they know LJ is demanding top dollar.

There isn't a "situation" or "impasses" or anything else. LJ has said he doesn't care about the money, just winning. He isn't holding out, demanding a trade or on ESPN doing sit-ups in his driveway. Negotiations will continue.

Who cares how much the total contract is worth? The only issues are how much of a cap hit will there be during the next 4-5 years and guaranteed money. He could have a contract making $11 Billion in year 8 of his contract for all I care. Depending on how much help he gets from Bennett and others during the next few seasons, he is looking at 5 more years in the NFL...max.

CP isn't going to trade him, LJ will get paid more than Gore and less than Tomalinson, LJ will be the Chiefs starting RB for the next 3 seasons.

Without reading every reply. this is just the start out number. then CP makes his offer, and they meet up somewhere. Thats all it is.

People always love to over react. lol I was talking about over reacting on another bard lastnight. I had to laugh when i seen the first page of replies here.

If LJ gets traded the only offensive highlights we will be able to see will be taped from the 2005 season.

Keep ****ing doubting Dee Brown

Dante is gone, Trent is going, LJ may be going, hell we should bite the bullet and send Gonzalez out the door too. Trade him to a team that will get him a ring, doesnt' look like he'll get one in KC. Or anyone else for that matter.

Other teams won't have a shot at LJ until at least next season when he is 28. NO TEAM IN THE NFL WILL PAY THIS MUCH MONEY TO A 28 YEAR OLD RB WHO IS BREAKING RECORDS FOR CARRIES.
If he doesn't believe it, LJ can test the free agent market and find out for himself that teams are not willing to mortgage their future on a RB.

I can't believe I'm saying this...

The Dungver RB 'Plug-and-play' approach is where we and others are likely headed with RB salary demands getting outta hand.

LJ is just following the demands of others Edge,etc. listening to their agents and what they think the market will bring.

Hope LJ works out on someone else's payroll and potential Cap Hell they will be in.

Really don't see King Carl, Clark Hunt poney up that kinda dough

LJ knows he's not getting this kind of cheese......kurds. He just wants out of KC, he has from day 1. I say franchise him over and over and over again if we don't get proper compensation. If he doesn't like it he can go sell clothes.
