Chiefs Does anyone see value in trading LJ for draft pick?

Just curious. Why not trade him and get another 2nd or first round pick? Build for next season.

Probably not because no other team would see any value.

His reeruned freaking contract will keep him from being traded... Dumbest ****ing signing in the history of the franchise...

There isnt much value in LJ, Our best bet it to go ahead and just run him into the ground quickly and move on.. He has zero trade value..

Because no one is going to give you a 4th rounder, let alone a 2nd. He's slow and runs without power.

But he makes up for it by being a poor blocker

This....

Plus he is old, refuses to block or catch out of the back field... Has terrible field vision and over all just a douche nozzle...

He isnt worth anything to another franchise... Hell he isnt worth much to this franchise, but Carl ****ed us and now we have to keep him for awhile....

It's like deja vu, all over again.

You would be lucky to get a 4th from some stupid team.

A second rounder? My hell I want some of that dope you got. He looked slow and went down easy in tonights game. He used to run powerful. KC might be able to move him for 6 th.

If someone offers a 6th we should jump all over it.

he looked better than AP. minnesota should trade him

Can't we just cut him before the season starts, save the bonus and get him off our books forever? Save the room for the rebuild at least.

I was wondering about that too. We have a ton of cap space and he's no good to us in 2-3 years. I'm scratching my head on this one too. My only guess is that they'll want to run the ball a lot this season, so they don't ask Cassel to do too much too soon. While LJ might have lost a step, at least you know he can carry the ball a lot.

I see that but if as "people" say and we don't have a true #1 running back, cut and run.

It is not like we are going to the playoffs this year anyway.
Most here say RBs are a dime a dozen, lets see if it rids us of a 8 million RB this year to make even more room when we need it, I mean hes not even a starter?

Maybe it is a rouse and "Pioley" plan?

Thank God it is NFL time!

Well, it's always been my opinion that the #1 priority for 2009 should be to give Cassel every opportunity to succeed. The last thing we want is to run an offense like in 2008 where we consistently run the ball less than 20 times per game. If you can run the ball a lot, you don't force Cassel to throw over 30 times a game and you can let him ease into the offense.

I don't know if it's the rationale. But it's the only reason I can think of to keep LJ around.
