Good luck with all that.

I want to see if anyone will actually justify paying him that.

LOL, I'm an LJ fan, but he'll be traded before he sees that jack.

I think the Chiefs can't afford to see if he has anything left in the tank this year. Normally I would say make him prove that he can be the same RB after a 400+ carry season, but his contract will be up then, and no one will touch him with the franchise tag on him, so just trade him now and get it over with.

And of course he's asking now because if he goes out there and shows decline he won't get paid, because it will be a giant red flag.

Its looking like they missed an opportunity last season to sign him to a contract that was more in line with his ability but not extremely high. I was actually a bit surprised he didn't press hard for a new contract after his '05 performance. Now his price tag is likely too high for our current situation.

It's no biggie he's a RB.....now if he was a QB.....

In that podcast Michael Smith made a lot of solid and logical comments about this team. He can be a bit hit or miss but he got it this time.
