| Posted by Mike Florio on October 12, 2008, 12:36 p.m. At a time when the Chiefs are actively talking to other teams about a trade of tight end Tony Gonzalez, Jay Glazer of FOX reports that they also are shopping running back Larry Johnson. It’d be a wise move to move L.J., as we pointed out in last week’s Ten-Pack for SportingNews.com. Really, who needs a high-end running back when the team is routinely going to be abandoning the run? The problem is that the Chiefs will have a hard time finding someone to assume Johnson’s contract, and his reputation for surliness. (The other problem is that, barring a catastrophic injury on Sunday, no contending team needs a tailback of L.J.’s ilk. Except for maybe the Broncos, but the Chiefs would likely resist trading Johnson within the division.) Johnson is signed for four more seasons, with base salaries of $2.5 million in 2008, $4.55 million in 2009, $5 million in 2010, $5.3 million in 2011, and $5.9 million in 2012. Assuming that the Chiefs decide to trade Larry Johnson this offseason, would you advocate trading a 2009 Rd 3 pick to make this trade? Sure Fred is still healthy, but a Larry Johnson and MoJo running combo would be awesome. Looks like his contract is not much different than Fred's. |

No way. Drafta back.
Not in a million years would I trade for LJ.

Sure Fred is still healthy, but a Larry Johnson and MoJo running combo would be awesome. Looks like his contract is not much different than Fred's. For a 3rd? Absolutely. But LJ is a line-dependant back. It's different from an average back behind a good line because LJ will manipulate his line (patiently running behind them, then pushing them into the way to create holes). I think he would do great if he could put even more power behind his running.

| I don't think that he would do well here at all.
He is a guy that needs to be coddled, and loved, and be the center of attention for the Offense or he goes all 'surly' on you and quits. I don't think that he would operate very well in a two-back system where he is just another option.
Pass.
Go heavy early.
You do not maintain perfection, you work for it everyday.

| | Nope. He's a good RB that needs a great OL to be successful. Plus he's a me-first player that would hate being part of a RB stable. |

| Absolutely not. Not only does he have alot of miles on him, and a prima donna in the locker room, he has off the field issues too. Along with a big contract and his drop in productivity, the chiefs are married at the hip with LJ

| He was worked so hard he broke down. Draft a young back if you need a replacement for Fred.
