Larry Johnson loses Grievance
Per profootballtalk.com
http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/...teed-salaries/ Larry Johnson Loses Grievance On Future Guaranteed Salaries Posted by Mike Florio on April 6, 2009, 1:11 p.m. EDT The good news for NFL players coming out of last week’s combined Plaxico Burress/Larry Johnson grievance is that the forfeiture of signing bonus money has been significantly limited. The bad news for NFL players is that Special Master Richard Burbank upheld player contract language invalidating future guaranteed base salaries. Per a league source, Johnson’s grievance failed as to the question of whether the Chiefs are permitted to erase $3.5 million in guaranteed base salary due in 2009 and $250,000 in guaranteed base salary due in 2010 based on Johnson’s one-game suspension in 2008 for violation of the personal conduct policy. With the future guaranteed payments now off the books, the Chiefs are expected to cut or trade Johnson. Meanwhile, we’re told that Johnson’s grievance prevailed as to the partial forfeiture of his signing bonus allocation applicable to 2008, for the same reasons that the Burress grievance prevailed on that point — according to Burbank, suspensions don’t trigger a forfeiture of signing bonus money. (Sorry if repost.) |

Hopefully he'll stay on with the team or we'll get a 4th Rounder for him.

Larry Johnson is through in KC. If his cap hit just got cut even in half, he's as good as gone. I hate to see it, I know I'm in the minority on that, but it's true. Bye Larry.

If I was a fan of a team in need of a RB. I would have no problem at all giving a conditional 3rd. In fact, I'd be thrilled.

Yes.
5th-rounder, tops. There will be more attractive options for teams to draft in rounds 1-4, so why would anyone give that high of a pick for a one-dimensional back who is also a ****ing piece of shit in the locker room and in the community? |

Eagles have 4 5th round picks. But my guess is most teams know he will probably be released, and will proably try and go that route to sign him to their own deal instead of taking on the remaining Chiefs contract minus the signing bonus.

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Larry.
As long as we get a 3rd Rounder or better in return. That or a 12 pack of imported beer. 80% or better chance of his azz being somewhere else now, I'd say.

It makes more sense to keep him if he's cheaper now.
We won't find another starting RB as talented this offseason for that money.

I can see him going to either Cleveland or Seattle. Cleveland especially, with Mangini's love of play-action.

LJ isn't an elite talent anymore, and what he brings could be filled through the draft. |
