If he does become available, should we take a chance?

He IS bad. His knees are practically bone on bone. He's also a terrible head case, a malcontent, and has issues with the law.

If the Chiefs released him, how much does he have left?

It would depend on a number if things with the least important of them being salary as it would not be guaranteed.

-Would he behave off the field and in the locker room?
-Can he pick up the offense?
-What is his physical condition?
-What is the prognosis for Morris and Taylor?

If they have not already, I'm sure the Pats and Pioli will have a very frank convo about him.

If the answer is "no" or "not good" to any of these questions, IMO you need to pass.

I don't think what he has left in the tank has anything to do with why they would release him now.

It has a lot to do with it actually. If he was rushing for more than 2.7 YPC this year with no TDs, I don't think he would be cut for twittering negative things about the coach.

We don't need an broken down RB with an attitude problem who probably isn't even good enough to be activated for games. Larry Johnson would become our worst RB if he was added.

He would fit better with the Raiders or Ravens...
