L.J. wearing out welcome in Kansas City

As speculation swirls of a possible divorce between Kellen Winslow and the Browns, I couldn't help but think that another newsmaker of recent days is headed for a breakup. Larry Johnson has worn out his welcome in Kansas City; in the locker room, on the field, and apparently in the clubs.

It sounds like L.J. will be on the bench this weekend if he's not suspended by the league. My guess is we won't see him for a few weeks, but that's just irresponsible speculation.

I was asked today if I thought Johnson would even put on a Chiefs uniform again, which is a fair question. I fully expect him to be back at some point in November and fantasy owners should hang on, but the Chiefs will have to explore options next off-season to get rid of him. Unfortunately for them, his $4.55 salary in 2009 is guaranteed. That will make any trade impossible, and that's a lot of money for the Chiefs to swallow. GM Carl Peterson has made a lot of similarly costly decisions with the Hunt family's money, and he's testing their unbending loyalty. My guess is that L.J. will become another administration's problem.

Sure seems like New Orleans
would be a very good fit
for LJ. Wether they could
digest his price tag is
another story.

KC clearly should have traded LJ before they gave him this big new deal. They were in clear rebuilding mode but for some reason wanted to pay a guy a ton of money. I had said this all along, though so did a ton of other people who had bothered to look at the situation KC was in.

As LJ's owners I guess all we can do it wait & see.

Wouldn't it be in KC's best interest to play him some at the end of the season to showcase him for a post season trade?
