More on Carl's Legacy...
The Busine$$ of Football

By Andrew Brandt

Posted February 5, 2009
...

In trying to get out before the door slams behind him, old friend Larry Johnson is on record saying he wants out of Kansas City. His disdain has now surfaced for the team that decided 17 months ago to lavish him with a contract worth $43M and an astounding $19M guaranteed – $12M in a bonus and another $7M in guaranteed salary. The Chiefs did the contract while Johnson held out of training camp and violated three sacred rules in negotiating contracts: (1) rewarding a player who was breaching his current contract by holding out; (2) paying top-of-the-market money to a running back about to hit the dangerous age of 28 and over; and (3) rewarding a player who was known to have some character issues (which have surfaced since the signing).

Now Johnson, with a new administration coming into Kansas City — one that did not overpay him and reward his insolence — says he wants out. Johnson just completed a season in which he was benched for three games for violating team rules and suspended by the league for a fourth game for violating NFL player conduct rules. He is due $4.55M in 2009 – when he will turn 30 — with increasing numbers in subsequent years. He wants to make a “clean break” from the Chiefs.

So an overpaid and aging running back with character issues who has, in the past 18 months, held out of training camp and been suspended for violating league and team rules wants to be removed from the team. The Chiefs have to be privately thanking their lucky stars, wondering where do they sign up?

Johnson believes he probably won’t be a Chief come training camp. You think?

Surely Carl wrote some kind of conduct-unbecoming clause into the contract? Surely.

I have a question. If a peep shot a bigfoot, would that be against the law? I mean, if it turns out to be basically human - DNA-wise? Say, for example, an innocent peep was just out walking in the woods and encountered a bigfoot and it startled him and the peep happened to have a 30.06 with him, so he aimed and fired and caught the bigfoot right in the back of his bighead and then he called the police and they came out right away and secured the area and took some blood samples to the lab and the lab came back with the results and they discovered that the bigfoot's DNA was as similar to a normal human's DNA as a dwarf's or a Down's Syndrome person's is or something. Would that be murder?

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Carl did not include the aforementioned clause in LJs contract. Leaders get stale and ridged when not challenged and put in new situations. Carl's 20 years is the epitome this.

LJ was his "baby" and who in that autocracy with it's 'keep your head down and reap the rewards' atmosphere would have challenged him?

It's almost Shakespearian how Carl and Herm turned out to be the demise of each other. Going in friends with the best of intentions and winding up...well, you know the story.

My God this was a good offseason. Sorry if I strayed there.

everyone knows that Carl is a tough negotiator and most of the money we have under salary cap comes because of Carl's stinginess. But to give LJ that much money!!

I despise LJ and I no longer want him to be a Chief.
