Chiefs LJ wins. - Page 5

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.

Johnson is eligible to receive the remaining portion of his $4.55 million base salary from the Chiefs. Players are paid weekly through the 17 weeks of the regular season, so Johnson could collect about $2.14 million over the season’s final eight games.

To get the money from the Chiefs, Johnson must pass through the NFL’s waiver system. The waiver period concludes this afternoon. If Johnson is claimed by another team, that team assumes responsibility for his contract and the Chiefs owe him nothing more.

If Johnson clears waivers, the Chiefs are responsible for the $2.14 million even if he signs with another team before the end of the season.

But Johnson was also due a bonus of $62,500 for each game he was on the Chiefs roster. He will forfeit $500,000 since he won’t be on their roster the final eight games."

That'll work. Thanks.

LJ setting on the bench, collecting checks and not being an embarrassment and distracion to a losing team with a first time head coach/Gm who is looking lost. I'll not touch that bet.

SenselessChiefsFan · 11-10-2009, 01:11 PM

In retrospect..... LJ can't ride the pine without being around the Chiefs everyday in the lockeroom.

I am still worried that it sends the wrong move, I just don't know that they had any other choice.

I just wonder how he makes it to the season without being cut.

This shit surprised no one....

Yeah, I actually just had that same thought. Very Good point.

Brock · 11-10-2009, 01:13 PM

If LJ was producing, he'd still be here. That's all there is to it.

DrRyan · 11-10-2009, 01:15 PM

LJ is clueless. I heard him on the Dan Patrick show this morning. He was doing some serious back peddling(obviously listening to his agent and saying what he he is being told to say). Praising Haley, Pioli, Cassel et al. He went on to say that he hopes to sign a deal back with the Chiefs in the future when "he still has some burn left" and still become the Chiefs leading rusher.

He won the day he signed that dumb contract he got out of King Carl. Cutting his ass at least saves us the headache of having his can't run, can't block ass on the team anymore.

RBBC never looked so good

There really isn't anyone on the team to send the wrong message to. By next year everyone who doesn't buy into Haley 100% will be gone.

kcfanXIII · 11-10-2009, 01:42 PM

screw lj. i really don't care. i don't care what message it sends to players. if they want out, there's the ****ing door. also, they'd have to go back about 5 years or so and start showing they don't have any character at all, to put themselves in the situation that lj put himself into. i heard haley talking about it, and its the accumulation of everything that led to his release. maybe if you don't have a history of domestic abuse, or being a general tool, you can get away with calling reporters bundle of stickss and calling out your coach. please. get this ****er out of town, i'm sure any rb on the street could get 2.7 ypc.

Why have we been agreeing so much?
