SI: Contract talks with LJ and Gonzo have stalled

tk13 · 12-21-2006, 04:37 AM

This is from SI's rumors and news yesterday morning, I didn't see it posted anywhere. I don't know how accurate it is, SI put it as their top little news blip. They apparently got this from NFL.com but I couldn't find where... but I didn't look very hard. I know Gonzo is going to be a FA, I guess contract extension talks with LJ aren't going well either...

Kansas City talks aimed at new contracts for future free agents Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez have stalled. With so many teams so flush with money, Gonzalez could hit a bonanza on the open market, as would Johnson.

We don't need them. We've got Damon Huard. As long as we resign him, we'll be fine.

It's just a worthless Adam Schefter story. "Say, the Chiefs haven't re-signed Gonzalez or LJ yet, I'll pretend like that's breaking news and write about it".

LJ isn't going anywhere for at LEAST one year.

LOL

It's not like they were in a meeting today trying to hammer something out and they walked out in anger.

Must be a slow news day. Maybe TO should try to kill himself again.

If it comes down to it, franchise Tony this year, trade him for picks, and pay up for Larry.

The future in KC isn't bright.....especially considering Gonzalez doesn't have that many years left, I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted out of here.

As far as I'm concerned we can trade Gonzo. The team that wins the SB this year and the ones have won it over the past 30 did not have TG. Franchise and get a number 1 for him.

You actually get 2 #1's if you designate him that way...but no team would give that up for a TE.

They could tag him and trade him for the best offer......it's better than nothing.

LJ is not going anywhere. - Signed a seven-year contract with Kansas City (7/17/03)

Doesn't matter. He can hold out. He has the Chiefs over a barrel.

Didn't Tony Romo go Christmas shopping or something? Shouldn't he be covering that breaking news?

It is a two way street, they have hime over a barrel as well. He likes to be in the spotlight too much to set out IMO.
