Has LJ been CLAIMED OFF WAIVERS?

[geronimo]

Has anybody heard when/if he will be claimed?

[teedubya]

No. he is now a free agent.

[kstater]

I WOULDN'T SEE WHY ANYONE WOULD.

this will not end well. misleading thread title

[Quesadilla Joe]

ROFL he had 4 green bars just 20 seconds ago

[Bugeater]

THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A THREAD ON CHIEFSPLANET WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS.

Adam_Schefter Filed to ESPN: No team claimed running back Larry Johnson, which means he now is free to sign with any team.

geronimo, as in, jump off a cliff. Into the neg rep abyss...

[teedubya]

You guys are brutal... there IS a question mark at the end. Doesn't seem misleading to me.

[geronimo]

i'm for peace in the middle east! i didn't intend to cause confusion...seriously. Someone said something about a 3 o'clock deadline which is why i was checking. tough crowd. sheesh.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

What's so misleading about the title?

...re-todded?

[DaneMcCloud]

I disagree.

It IS misleading.

From the thread title, it appears that he's asking for confirmation that LJ's been claimed, not IF he's been claimed.

If his title had stated "Has LJ been claimed", there wouldn't be an issue.

[redsurfer11]

ESPN radio said Houston had interest. About an hour ago. Said Moats and Slaton weren't getting it done.

FFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

No takers for Larry Johnson

Posted by Mike Florio on November 10, 2009 5:13 PM ET
Because the Chiefs released running back Larry Johnson after the trade deadline, he was required to pass through waivers, giving every other team a shot at picking up his current contract.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that no one submitted a claim for Johnson's contract.

As a result, he now becomes an unrestricted free agent.

He is entitled, if he so chooses, to collect the balance of his $4.55 million base salary as termination pay. (He'll likely choose to take the money, especially since he won't be required to refund any of it if he lands with a new team.)

So now the question becomes whether anyone else gives him an opportunity and, if so, whether the contractual terms entail anything more than the minimum base salary for a seventh-year player.

We've been told to keep and eye on the Patriots, who have been evasive regarding their potential interest in Johnson.

Actually, Belichick said the other day when asked that they were not going to be interested. The quote is out there if this pseudo-authority Florio wants to do his homework

[LaChapelle]

John Clayton said 9 or so teams were tossing around the idea of picking him up as a FA. I was rather surprised.

[Sure-Oz]

Im not suprised...some team that needs RB help will give him a shot and if he acts like an idiot he'll be released

[Demonpenz]

Well his 44 posts in 8 years would indicate that he isn't a saavy, frequent message board poster... not a big deal to me.

I wish I could twitter a few ghey remarks and get handed 4.5 mil for doing so.

Schefter thinks he gets on with no one this year....i dont know

[RJ]

Larry Johnson was on waivers?

What happened?

[geronimo]

i'm amazed ... as "football fans" many of you act more like elementary school librarians or worse yet comma queers. you get your panties in a wad for such trivial insignificant stuff. i put the ? at the end of the post for a reason. anyway i got the answer to the question so i'm gonna drop it.

[BossChief]

Him not getting claimed means he will be low balled in his offers.

I wonder if he signs more than a 1 year vet minimum deal...should get interesting.

I bet he ends in Houston or NE when its all said and done, on a 1 year deal (basically a half season job interview)

[Old Dog]

Maybe only because I was wondering the same, but the "?" at the end made the OP make sense to me.

well, you have more green than you did before this topic started, so it would seem you made out like LJ did with the "misleading thread title".

texans, pats, bears and redskins show interest in LJ per scrolling NFLN.

If the rdskins wanted him, they should have claimed him and paid his contract, IMHO no way he signs on another losing team.

[Simply Red]

I WOULDN'T SEE WHY ANYONE WOULD.

TH^T! AND NUTHOOKS FOR THE MISLEAD, CONGRATS.

Texans said no deal will be done/Schefter

LARRY JOHNSON SHOT?

Larry Johnson's agent giving clues about 1 team very interested in signing him. Says it rhymes with Zedmonton Zeskimos.

Its too early or I'm too stupid, but I don't get the joke. Can someone who has drank their coffee explain?

[geronimo]

Heard a local sports radio talkshow report on the way home (live in dallas) that LJ was/is here. Sparked alotta speculation re: cowboys as potential suiter viewing him as possible insurance down the road as barber is nicked, jones is not durable enought, choice is too inexperienced. i dunno just skuttlebutt at this point imho. just fyi.

OK Hunny,

That's fine, just remember to not rub too hard while applying eye contouring gel, the part around the eye is very sensitive and try to apply w. a q-tip, k?

Rubbing will make dark-circles worse.

The only interest LJ is getting is from his bank.

No team wants this POS

and I like their (lj and agent) strategy.

Several teams are progressing toward signing LJ - HOWEVER - LJ and agent don't expect a deal to be done until Monday, earliest.

LOL

I'm curious. Since the chiefs are on the hook for LJ's salary through the season what happens if he's signed by another team. Does he get both or do the chiefs only have to make up the difference.

[Chiefs4TheWin]

Yeah! People like this outta be banned until they have at least a thousand posts. . . .
