"Riiiing.....Riiiiiing......Riiiing...."
DJ's Wife: "Hello, um, just a minute. Derrick, it's Larry Johnson. He wants to talk to you..."
DJ: "Tell him I'm not home. Tell him I'm at Arrowhead lifting weights...."
DJ's Wife: "He wants to borrow some money. Something about no more cakn patna...."
DJ: "Oh Sh*t..... he musta heard about my contract extension"
DJ's Wife: "He says he'll call back this afternoon... and that you his new Jay-Zee, whatever that means"
DJ: "I hate jock sniffers and hangers on..."

Yep. Jarvis Moss clearly helps your running game.

DJ has been in beast mode. A lot of the plays over the middle that used to kill us are now kept to minimal gains because of his athleticism/playmaking. I am happy to see him get this extension. Clearly he proved himself to Haley and the front office and rose above the tough love they gave him.

Derrick Johnson's redemption
By Bill Williamson

The Derrick Johnson story in Kansas City has a happy ending.

It didn’t look like that would be the case a year ago. Yet, ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the linebacker has signed a five-year extension with the Chiefs. He would have been a free agent after the season.

The extension is a strong message from the Chiefs that a player can redeem himself and that hard work will be rewarded. That should bode well in both the locker room and around the league when its time to recruit free agents.

Johnson was in coach Todd Haley's dog house for much of last season. He was having a hard time adjusting to the 3-4 defense and Haley has had a short leash for players who don’t adjust. Johnson started to come around late last season but it was still a surprise that Kansas City kept Johnson for this season.

Everyone is pleased they did. Johnson has flourished under new defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel and has been outstanding all season. He has 57 tackles so far, 20 more than the previous season. Johnson is clearly playing like a guy the Chiefs want to continue to build their improved defense around and he was awarded for it by getting his new deal.

It shows players can get second chances and succeed in general manager Scott Pioli and Haley’s program. That’s all anyone could ask for.

Good deal.

I'm glad to hear he will be here for awhile longer, I'm excited to see how much more he can grow into this scheme.

RealSNR 11-08-2010 02:25 PM

Johnson gets an extension.

Heh.

Says the fan of the team that signed close to a $70,000,000 contract to a pile of shit that is no longer in the league... after 3 years. I'm sure the team couldn't find anything better to do with the $40,000,000+ they handed over to jamarcus so he could drink some sizurp.

Bolded statement = anti-"dammit Carl" factor.

Since this extension may help in the locker room by showing players you will be rewarded for good play and effort, would it be even better if they forced Tyson Jackson to restructure for the league minimum so the team could pay guys that actually matter, like Flowers, Hali, Charles...

Can we go ahead and count this as a whiff by *the source*?
