Chiefs LJ wins.

SenselessChiefsFan · 11-10-2009, 08:39 AM

For those of you celebrating his release..... he WINS.

He wanted out of here... he got out of here. He wanted to make this year's salary from the Chiefs.... he made this year's salary from the Chiefs.

He wants to play for another team.... he will play for another team.

So, YAY!.... the spoiled brat gets his way and gets to collect the rest of his 5 million dollar salary.

Just another example of the Chiefs taking a situation this year, and handling it in the worst way possible.

This doesn't send a message about you need to behave. It says, if you really mess up, you can go play somewhere else for a coach who knows more about football than golf.

How inspiring.

**loochy** · 11-10-2009, 08:45 AM

It's a win - win. He gets his money and we get to be without his cakin patna ass.

cull - the person or thing that is rejected or set aside as inferior in quality.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

He wins? Sure he collects a little over 2 mil. He also loses 1/5 mil in bonuses (20% salary reduction) and the 22.5 million of the rest of his contract. He left in a mire of locker room and off field issues that will make other teams wary to pick him up and most likely sign him to only short deals ridden with performance incentives as opposed to outright salary and bonuses.

He lost his chance to be the Chiefs all time leading rusher, which probably hurts his ego more than any cash issues he faces hurts his wallet. He'll have to be lucky to be signed by another team, stay healthy and keep his mouth shut to make anywhere near the money he was going to get if he had done those things with the Chiefs...in essence he lost all his job security.

He may still be getting a little 'cake' from the Chiefs, but that alone doesn't make him a winner.

He wasn't getting the rest of his contract . He got what he wanted.

This is stupid.

If he wins...I am happy for him, because I am in a much better mood this morning.

You have a higher opinion of this team than he did. He wanted out... he got it.

And, the 'bonuses' he won't get will be easily surpassed by the minimum salary he gets from his next teem.

And, teams won't shy away from him. They understand that losing takes a toll on a player.

Um, no.

If some team signs him for the NFL minimum, that amount will be deducted from what the Chiefs owe him for the rest of this season. Those bonuses are gone.

It's not much, but at least he loses the bonuses.

Nope.... he gets every dime from the Chiefs regardless. I will see if I can find a link. The only way it is different is if he is claimed off the waiver wire... and then he gets his bonuses.

So how much did he make between the day the Chiefs drafted him, and the day he has Scott hand him that last check?
