His lasting legacy to me will be that, when we needed it the most, he brought his A+ game.
And then Jeff Tripplette ****ed us. **** Jeff Tripplette. I hope he dies of dick cancer. |

DJ was great. I hope he retires instead of going somewhere else.

I can’t articulate how much I appreciate DJ. Great Chief
Agreed. One of the smartest players around. He won’t. But strictly for my own personal fandom, I wish he would. |

An all time great. Good luck to him with whatever the future holds.
Does anybody still have that gif of DJ just absolutely lighting up Jake Plummer? One of the best hits he ever put on a QB. |

This is bittersweet news. I know it needs to be done, and I know it's the right move. But at the same time, I will miss him. One of my favorite Chiefs of all time. Thanks for the memories, DJ.

“When I restructured my deal, I voided my last year out,” Johnson said. “In order for me to come back with the Chiefs, we’d have to work on a deal or do something for a one-year type of deal.
“But the Chiefs, they wanted to go younger across the board — that’s what (general manager Brett) Veach was talking about. I wasn’t in their plans, and I understood that. They’ve got some cap issues, and even though I would have bended some to be a Chief, there really was no negotiation. I just wasn’t in the plans. And that happens; it is what it is.” “I thought there’d be a chance we could negotiate something,” Johnson said. “But it is what it is. I appreciate Veach being straight up with me by saying, ‘Hey, this is where we’re going. I don’t want to lead you on. We appreciate and respect everything you’ve got going on, but right now, D.J., you’re not in our plans going forward.’” “Letting go of a player like Derrick is particularly tough because of how much respect I have for him as a player and as a person,” Veach said. “He’s had a tremendous career here in Kansas City, and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward.” Johnson told The Star that he expects to continue his playing career elsewhere this fall in pursuit of a Super Bowl ring. “I at least want to play a couple more years,” he said. “I at least want get to 15 years in the league. Right now, I’m just chasing a ring, man. I am. “It’s going to be a tough deal to leave Kansas City,” he said. “We knew it was coming at some point. But they say it usually comes sooner than later, and it’s here.” Johnson made it clear that he’ll always consider the Chiefs his No. 1 team. When asked if he’s leaving with any hard feelings against the organization or Reid, Johnson said no. “Not at all, man, not at all,” Johnson said. “I’ve had five head coaches, and he’s the best. I’ve won a lot with Andy Reid and I have a lot of respect for him. I think the world of Kansas City, so there’s no bridges burned. It’s a good, long relationship and everyone knew it would end at some point. “I’m a Chief at heart. My kids are Chiefs fans, and I’m sure whatever team I’m on (next), my kids are gonna have two teams, I’ll tell you that.”

One of the best and classiest players in Chiefs history. I wish him well wherever he goes but the team needs to get a lot younger and faster.

I guess the question is not necessarily can he make a roster, but how much (or how little) is he willing to play for. He's probably not going to get much more if any than the veteran minimum.

KC will welcome him back with open arms when its all said and done... but you gotta admit that him retiring as a lifelong Chief has a special appeal to it, so few players can claim just one team these days |

Remember when DJ was the team leader on multiple home playoff wins?
