TBH, we have the upper hand.
If he wants to hold out... then just let him. He will still be under contract to KC until he plays 3 more years for us or we trade him. If he wants to end his career early, then f'ing let him.
We still have a pretty good RB core without LJ, though WITH him it is incredible. Bennett, assuming he can stay healthy, has been a starter in the past and has a Pro Bowl under his belt.
We also have that kid we just drafted... his name escapes me at the moment.
With 3 years left in his contract, he has almost ZERO barganing leverage.
As it is with his current contract, he has earned more than many of us will in our lifetime.
