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.

Bullshit.

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

He is a talent when he wants to be, problem is he does not care most of the time unless he gets the perfect size hole to run through..

They have money to burn and he showed up to voluntary workouts. Thinking in business terms, I don't see the advantage is cutting him.

I don't either, at least not this year. Let him play for a trade, who knows how he'll feel playing under Haley and Pioli.

He wants to play here now if he can make that money because he knows he's not going to make it anywhere else. If he makes $1 less, he'd rather do it anywhere but with the Chiefs.
But if they keep him, he's NOT cheaper. He still has the same contract, just not guaranteed - plus the Chiefs have to pay him back money they deducted last year for the suspended game. IF Larry stays on, he will cost the Chiefs MORE than if they had simply honored the contract and not filed the grievance.

Exactly. He's as good as gone.

We can definitely afford the salary, and the bonus. I just don't see why you bring the grievance in the first place if you intend on keeping him should you win. I want him on the team this year as much as anyone, but it's time to be realistic now.

Realistic?

Is he publicly acting the bitch? Is there even the slimiest chance you could get something for him? Take emotion out of it and you should keep him until proven otherwise.

You get millions of dollars by cutting him. You also get less risk in his off the field trysts for the next season. What's the distraction going to be this year? It's risk vs. reward and I can't think of anyone that would sign LJ to the contract the Chiefs did back in 2007, today. So that being said, as completely emotionless as possible, would you honor his contract right now if you didn't have too? Will Scott Pioli?

They filed the grievance not to save money, but to get back their leverage.

"Larry - act up again, and we've got something for you."

Hence the incentive for other teams to trade for him as opposed to wait for him to get released.
