Don't try to come between GoChiefs and his mancrush of the month. Ask him the same question next month, when he's moved on from LJ and is slobbering all over some new draft pick, and you'll get an entirely different perspective from him.

I am a huge LJ fan but no way for that kind of cheddar, especially not in the guranteed money. I say if we cant keep him take him for another 400 carry season this year, lets get some worth outta him lol. But if we do that the more carries he has the harder he would be to demand high trade value IMO.

I can understand the affection for LJ, I really can. He's been a productive player, and still has some life left in him. I do think there's a big problem among the "we must keep LJ" people in that they seem to believe that this team is going to be very competitive as long as we keep him. At this point, or in the very near future, this team is in need of 4 offensive linemen, 2 corners, 2 wide receivers, a QB (depending on how the Croyle thing works), 2 DT's, and possibly a LB.

If I had it my way, we'd have dumped Gonzalez and got picks for him too.

Jesus. $34M signing bonus?

Getting a first and a third was going to be hard enough.

We'll be lucky to get a deal like Buffalo got for McGahee.

Right now, if Carl gets offered anything DECENT, he's almost gotta pull the trigger. Otherwise we get jack shit....he'll walk.

Why does everyone assume the numbers are accurate?

Even if it is accurate, by way of comparison, LT signed an 8 year 60 million dollar deal with 21 guaranteed. The cap has gone up around 25% since that contract was signed, so a first demand for 8 years 80 million isn't far off. The 34 guaranteed is insane, but it's part of the negotiation process. The 80 million portion is monopoly money away. It could be 8 years 800 million - it wouldn't matter as those final years are always inflated and the money is never seen nor paid.

I don't think he should be asking for a contract considerable to Tomlinsons with the cap increase.....he isn't as good.

As much as I love LJ and my LJ jersey I don't see the Chiefs paying him that kind of money. I think we need to do what the Donkeys do and build the O-Line and we can make any RB great.

He might want to prove that he can block worth a shit or catch the ball reliably before he asks for Tomlinson money.

Neophytic question here, but do the Chiefs (or any other team for that matter) have that kind of cash on hand? Does it depend on where the Chiefs are with regards to the salary cap?

I guess the question is, could the Chiefs even do this deal, if they so wanted?

I would be very reluctant to trade LJ, nor do I believe in Mecca's ability to see into the future. But I don't see him getting $20M more base and $13M more guaranteed than Tomlinson.

I think LJ's agent suggestion that he should get an $80million contract is a truthful as CP's comments that he is shopping LJ. Both are part of the negotiation process.

This team isn't going to win a bowl or likely contend for one the entire time Larry Johnson is good........I think some people don't see that though.
