Looks like Larry has pissed off the organization for allegedly insulting Coach Haley via Twitter and on top of that gay slurs to some critic fans who wrote him on Twitter - The guy sounds like Corey Dillon who hated everything about the Bengals but we know what he did once he was here .

If the Chiefs decide to release a disgruntled Johnson maybe BB could take a shot at him for cheap?
He is still just 29 and maybe worn out from all the carries over the years but still think he could be a player who could do some good things and since Morris and Taylor could be gone a long time who knows?

Sounds like a player who is having a tough time dealing with being on a very bad team and he was mad he was not involved as much anymore,I think a winning environment could help,Since trading is now over he would have to be released but I don't think Pioli is ready to do that.

I'm a PSU fan and I hate this guy for disgracing my alma mater.

Can't root for him. He's a jackarse of the highest order.

When he and Holmes were a tandem they were one of the toughest SOB of a running set that the NFL had seen for quite a while,Since Holmes retired and Johnson had been used in a much larger role, he has fallen on hard times and on top of that has a bad team with a QB that has been a big dissapointment thus far.

Still I wonder if the guy went to a team with a winning tradition would he come out of his slumber or maybe he is done,I don't know.

Larry's problem is that he is not named Walter or Barry. They were the only two that could run behind a terrible O line and still have success.

Right now his problem is that he's stupid enough to think that it's a good idea to use a slur against 10% of the American population on a forum as public as Twitter while playing in a league as PR conscious as the NFL. I mean, seriously. That's going to cost him a lot of money.

For Cassel to be impressive with the talent he has to work with, he'd have to be better than Brady.

That plus the gay teammates that he offended.

I think he may have hurt Matt Cassel's feelings.

When you compare Dillon's career numbers with LJ's, you see that Dillon was more of a high plateau (six of the first seven seasons 1100+ yards rushing) whereas LJ has kinda been average aside from two ginormous years. The question is: did he simply peak and is now done, or does he have untapped potential?

This year he's been bad, around 2.7 YPC. On the other hand, the Chiefs' O-line sucks, which is partly why Cassel has looked pedestrian. (I say "partly" because he's also not playing that great. Frankly, though, neither is Brady, but having the Pats' O and D around you makes a bit of a difference in the final outcomes.)

The thing about LJ is, while he's 30, he didn't get as much use early on in his career. So you would think there might be some reserves in the tank that a change of scenery and a winning team might pull out of him.

I wouldn't throw big money at him. But if he gets cut loose, and he's willing to take a one-year "show me" deal, he's welcome IMO. If Fred Taylor and Sammy Morris were healthy and slashing through opposing defenses, I'd say don't bother but, with only Maroney and BJGE here, a rejuvenated LJ who can even give the Pats, say, 4.0 YPC and 50-75 yards per game would be a help.
