Kansas City Chiefs don't plan to dump Derrick Johnson
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...errick-johnson
Sitting just $2.8 million under the cap, theKansas City Chiefs*still have plenty of money to move around if they plan to sign their draft class. Parting ways with*Derrick Johnson, though, isn't in the cards. Team chairman Clark Hunt made it clear that the 32-year-old inside linebacker -- due $5.2 million in the final year of his contract -- is safe. "Derrick is obviously one of the greatest inside linebackers to ever play for the club and there are some pretty good ones, if you go back in time," Hunt said, per The Kansas City Star. "In terms of the modern era of theChiefs, it's hard to think about the club without thinking about Derrick at inside linebacker. He's a great leader, he's a tremendous person, represents the club well on and off the field.*We're looking forward to having him back this year,hopefully good as new. "You mentioned that his contract is up this year. There will be a point in time where we address that," he said. "But it just hasn't been germane to this point." The*Chiefs*saw Johnson notch just four tackles before tearing his Achilles' tendon against Tennessee in the season opener, but coach Andy Reid at last month's combine said the veteran linebacker*"might be in the best shape"*of his life. As the*second highest ranked*inside or middle linebacker in the NFL since 2007, per Pro Football Focus, Johnson will be counted on to man the center of K.C.'s defense next to the recently signed*Josh Mauga. After finishing 28th in the league against the run last season, it makes sense that theChiefs*aren't willing to part ways with one of their only proven run-stuffers for 2015. |

Boy, I wonder if NFL.com has any other bits of hard-hitting journalism to grace us with today.
"Chiefs don't plan to start Aaron Rodgers at QB" "Chiefs don't plan to move Arrowhead to Canada" "Chiefs don't plan on playing this season with a soccer ball" I don't even know that this qualifies as slow news day stuff - this is just lazy idiocy.

Sure would help the defense take the next step towards elite if he can come back at full strength. We need the veterans to lead these guys into the new era.
