LJ's first mistake was...

[shaneo69]

hiring Carl's buddy Marvin Demoff to be his agent. That pretty much sealed the fact that the Chiefs were going to draft him, because Carl knew that Demoff would convince LJ to sign the first contract offer that Carl made, and there would be no messy holdout.

There's no way Carl drafts LJ if the agent is Ethan Locke, Jim Steiner, Hadley Engelhard, or one of the Postons.

How would this situation have been different had Drew Rosenhaus been the agent? Rosenhaus would have fought the verbal battle against DV for the "diaper" comment, and LJ could've remained in the background. There was no comment at all from Demoff on the whole situation. Nice job, Marv.

And way before now, Rosenhaus would have been demanding a trade after seeing LJ stuck behind Derrick Blaylock on the bench. Rosenhaus would have been asking for permission to work out a trade with other teams, like he did with Portis. Again, has Demoff been any help in this situation? No, he just leaves LJ out to dry, and all because he's Carl's buddy.

LJ should've fired this joker long ago, and now he just keeps on getting humiliated while Demoff hides in the background.

Holmes was a starter for at least a year. At least with him, he had some sort of record you could base an opinion on. Johnson does not.

LJ has a record. Oh wait, that's probably not what you're talking about...
