Guess the days of Larry Johnson cashing fat checks are close to over.
The Chiefs just released him.
Here's the official statement:
The Kansas City Chiefs released RB Larry Johnson on Monday. In 75 games (55 starts) with Kansas City, Johnson rushed 1,375 times for 5,996 yards (4.4 avg.) with 55 touchdowns. He also registered 151 receptions for 1,369 yards (9.1 avg.) with six TDs. He concluded his Chiefs career with 30 100-yard rushing games and also added two 100-yard receiving games.Johnson established an NFL single-season record with 416 rushing attempts in 2006 when he set a franchise single-season mark with 1,789 rushing yards. He originally entered the league as the Chiefs first-round selection (27th overall) in the 2003 NFL Draft out of Penn State.
Looks like the Chiefs heard the fan's pleas to not let LJ become the team's all-time leading rusher.
Showing 1-6 of 6
LJ might get to have a comeback on another team.
If gets lucky enough to sigh with a team that has a functioning line.
More power to him.
His performance wasn't really the issue.
I mean, it sure as shit wasn't very good, but we all know the Chiefs o-line is ineffective.
The problem is he is an asshole.
And it's sad that he might never realize this.
The only thing I worry about is having some contender (New England, perhaps) pick him up and give him the opportunity to pick up 2.7 yards a carry in the playoffs.
Thank goodness. This might be the single greatest achievement of the Chiefs this season.
