Any chance LJ not a Chief after next week?
 
Haven't heard too much about this, but it seems possible if not plausible:

Larry Johnson saves his payday, for now
Posted by Mike Florio on September 5, 2009 10:52 PM ET

Earlier this year, the Chiefs successfully avoided $3.5 million in guaranteed base salary that would have been owed to running back Larry Johnson this year.

Now, Johnson is poised to earn $4.55 million, guaranteed.

If Johnson, who made the cut to 53 in Kansas City seven months after proclaiming that he wanted out, is on the roster next week at this time, the Chiefs will owe him the full amount of his base pay for the year, given his status as a vested veteran.

There's still a chance that the Chiefs will ask Johnson to take less money or take a hike, even though the Chiefs have more than enough cap room to carry his contract. At a time when many teams are cap rich but cash poor, an ultimatum would be aimed not at creating space for signing other players, but at saving money.

How low will he go>?

I think the only way he's not on the roster is due to injury.

Nope.

Cut LJ and let Butterfingers fumble 4 times per game? No thanks.

Hammock Parties 09-05-2009 11:46 PM

Larry is done.

Replays indicated he did, but just barely.

Until that cash is his, there's a chance that he's cut.

Lost in the LJ lovefest here is that Albert and Waters created a huge seam for LJ on that play.
