This is just further proof that there is no chance in hell a trade is going to happen prior to the draft. No team would be able to agree to a long term contract with him by Saturday.

Next stop - do the Chiefs take a HB on day 1.

2nd stop - LJ's holdout express.

What if........we draft Marshawn Lynch.........the meltdown will be epic.

Kinda like the meltdown when we drafted LJ?

People can change stories all they want, but I remember reading through the archives when I was still lurking around here and people were pissed.....

I wanted Polamalu in that draft so I can't say I wasn't a little annoyed...

We should send LJ to Green Bay he thinks KC is bad and unhip and has nothing for the black man to do.......let's see how he does in Green Bay.

i think logical literally lost his mind that day

one of Carl's best picks ever....he took the BAA over some worthless DE that DV wanted...thank god

No wonder he hasn't been traded yet...

Yeah, it really got the Chiefs far.

what's that got to do with anything?

It was an epic meltdown.

I didn't sh#t myself like 99.9% of the Planet did. When I heard the pick announced on TV, the thought that immediately came to my head was, "Carl must know something about Priest that we don't." That being, that his durability was a concern or the team felt his days of productivity were coming to an end.

If you'd have posted that you thought this was going to prove to be one of Carl's best draft picks ever... well, not that you could get into the site that day...

Probably all the same people who are saying that if we trade Johnson, the Chiefs will sink into a valley of suck so deep they will never emerge again are the ones who were starting "TRADE LJ" threads at the top of every hour when Holmes showed up to camp that year. Somebody wanted to convert Johnson to full back, and somebody wanted to trade him for I think Justin McCareins.

Shows you what Joe Planet/Sixpack knows about running an NFL team. I'm not a Carl fan but... shows what Joe knows...

I hope the site is locked to just members during the draft otherwise it will be a long day....

Crap like this is exactly why the Franchise Tag was created.

Ask the Bears how that's going with Lance Briggs....

Thats only 250,000.00 a game....pay the bro....

I'd rather pay him a big short term contract, than anything long term...

How about 8M G'd, 20M over the next 3 years (Then we can trade him for picks, his trade value might be lower, but with a contract in place, teams would be willing to take him)

Either that or I think that we will franchise him and then trade him...

I still think we can get something out of him... we wont get 1st round picks, but we will get what the bills got for their RB...

Dealing with player tantrums associated with the Franchise Tag is better than give a 28yr old RB an 8 year $80M deal with $34M guaranteed. With the Tag he can choose to play or hold out. If he holds out he gets no pay and if he plays he gets fair salary on a one year at a time basis.
