Larry, rpesumably, is LJ. I don't know the Chiefs roster that well, and I seem to always see him referred to as LJ, not Larry, which is why I ask.

I honestly can't assess his talent at this point. I haven't seen enough of him. I think that if he thinks LJ is more seflish than selfless, then he's gone. By trade if possible, but by axe if necessary. More likely trade, even if for low value.

I would think he'd either retain Tony for the leadership and example that he sets in terms of professionalism, etc, but you can never tell. Willie McGinest found out that when its time to move on, the team will move on, even if you're reasonable in your contract demands.

The Patriots didn't have an overly young, undertalented team with lots of spare cap room, so what they did with their vets doesn't necessarily translate well into what happens with Tony.
