Trade LJ to N.E?
 

It looks like Larry Johnson's days in KC are over, too many bridges have been burnt and his relationship with the organization seems tarnished. With that said, how would a trade for him to New England sound for a second round pick in this years draft. It seems logical because:


KC has Jamaal Charles and Kolby Smith

NE has been known to take chances on players (i.e. Randy Moss, Rodney Harrison, Corey Dillon)

KC is young and rebuilding so draft picks are very valuable

NE has San Diego's 2nd round pick in 2009

Laurence Maroney has not been able to carry the load for a whole season and would benefit from a joint backfield like in college (Marion Barber)

I don't think a team will give a 2nd for him

No way he goes for a second. He's not worth it.

NE wouldn't give us a 3rd for LJ.

NE wouldn't give anything for LJ.

They'd do the smart thing and draft another back.

And not offer him a 19 million guaranteed contract.

Love the positive feedback from of this board. Be positive.ROFL

NE gave up a 2nd for Dillon in 04. What's the difference?

Being positive isn't the same as being stupid.

No team in the league will give us a 2nd round draft pick for a problem child running back who hasn't played a full season in two years because of injury or legal troubles.

That NE learns from their mistakes?

The guy is worth about a six of old Mill in trade value right now.

cardken,

Here's the easiest way to answer that question.

Would you give up a 2nd rounder for LJ? No? Then there's your answer.

Why would they draft an old RB that isn't what he used to be and pay him more than hes worth when they can just get a young guy thats better and cheaper in the draft? Just because he was once worth a lot doesn't mean he always will be. Think of a new car you got, doesn't the value go down on it every year?

I assume conditional picks will have to do for him, probably a 6th that can turn into a 3rd if he is decent

How long would your coach put up with a back who won't block and get Brady killed on a blitz?
