What is the Trade value of Larry Johnson?

Mr. Laz · 02-15-2007, 10:50 AM

IF larry johnson was to be traded ... what's his approx. value?

not asking if the Chiefs should trade him ... just what his value would be IF they did.

I don't know why we're putting ourselves through this ridiculous exercise.

We would probably get him for a first rounder.

But we're not.

Nor do we really need to.

crazycoffey · 02-15-2007, 10:55 AM

I would wish for the Walker variety, but that's not likely to happen, I'd say top 10.

Think the browns, bucs or cards would go for it? Would that be worth it?

**HemiEd** · 02-15-2007, 10:58 AM

I would love to think it could be HW time, but I don't think so.

Low 1st rounder.

Where is Ditka when you need him?!

If Carl isnt finding out he is a bigger idiot than i expect

htismaqe · 02-15-2007, 11:02 AM

I can't see anyone giving up more than a 2nd for him.

He's a RB with considerable wear and tear after last season. He's worth far more to us playing than on the open market.

Archie Bunker · 02-15-2007, 11:05 AM

I'd say a 2nd and a mid rd pick.

Lots of carries last year, contract extension looming, and possible bad attitude. Can't see the Chiefs getting a 1st.

Wow, one year’s wear-n-tear drops’im to a second rounder?
The way I see it, LJ is a guaranteed +1500 yard producer, even with a chitty offensive line, and I would think that’d be worth at least a high first round pick.

It's not just one year of wear-and-tear. He set the NFL record for carries in a season. Only one RB in the history of the game has IMPROVED after carrying the ball that many times.

ck_IN · 02-15-2007, 11:16 AM

Probably a low 1st rounder. Some team like the Giants may see themselves as one player away and if they're drafting somewhere in the 20's anyway they may consider it a good gamble.

And yes I do think we should trade him. The team needs to rebuild and I think LJ will go TO on us if we see a 6-10 season in the rebuilding process.

This is exactly why we should be shopping him IMO. Someone could very well decide it's worth the gamble to see if LJ will be the second to improve. I think there are several on the NFC side that need to improve their running game and hold top ten picks. CP should be calling to see if they are interested. If he works on the business side of football anyway.

don't try it ......

htismaqe will never say that a Chiefs player has good market value. Because then he would have to deal with the fact that Carl peterson is a sad sack of crap who couldn't get the trade done.

better to just say "he's worth more to us than the market" so he doesn't have to deal with the emotional stress.

You two should just get a room and get it over with.

I'm not sure Tom Coughlin and LJ could coexist.
