Larry Johnson doesn't have 7 productive years and the Chiefs sign these extensions for 6-7 years, the odds of it being similiar are pretty likely.

I think he does. He's going to defy the odds.

Retire already, damn.

depends on how you define productive? If you mean 1700 yard seasons, no of course not.

id say a couple more of those followed by seasons of 1000-1300 yards for the rest of his career...

i don't know ....... Tightend is turning into more of a speed position lately.

to me, only QB and Oline are really the only positions that are safe above the age of 30.

if i were the Chiefs FO, yes i would want the money back, or at least some of it. Being Priest, i think its worth it to hold out for so long to see what happens. Its not hurting him 1 bit. Buisness is buisness. I think alot of fans fail to see this. To use its a game, but to them its their jobs, and it stopped being a game after high school.

I get annoyed with running into people who really think he's coming back.........

why?

I know people who really think he's coming back and is going to be what he was in 2003......and make comments like "He should start over LJ when he comes back"

Ponder that for a minute.

I really dont think people beleive that. I hang around here, and in another Chiefs forum and i dont know anyone like that. I know people that think he can be productive, but not what he was back in 2003

Priest never had a season with as many rushing yards as LJ has had the past 2 years..........Your absolutely right.

Maybe informed fan on the forums doesn't but think of average Joe fan you run across........

not trying to annoy you, I think he could come back. I don't pretend to think he will regain his prior form, nor do I think he should play ahead of LJ, but a good third and long, spell back.

He hasn't filed retirement papers, he is still getting medical opinions on what is happening, he obviously still wants to, but is concerned about the long term effects. I don't blame him for that.

but if there is a player that could come back in this postition, he is the one who could, that's for sure.

If it meant keeping about 7 million dollars opposed to paying it back I wouldn't be filing any papers either.....

seven million? I haven't heard that number. but I also doubt he has that type of character to hang on to hope just for some extra money. Nacho's are pretty inexpensive.
