[Kansas City.com] The Chiefs and running back Larry Johnson are working on a settlement that could affect his future, Johnson’s agent told The Star on Thursday.
Peter Schaffer, who has represented Johnson for about a year, said in an e-mail that he was working on an appeal of Johnson’s two-week suspension at the same time as he and the Chiefs are discussing a settlement.
“Full bore on both,” Schaffer wrote.
Asked whether that settlement could involve Johnson’s separation from the team, Schaffer wrote: “Not necessarily.”
Schaffer was later reached by phone Thursday night. When asked whether he expects Johnson to play with the Chiefs again, Schaffer said: “Larry Johnson is a member of the Chiefs right now.”
Schaffer wouldn’t reveal details of his discussions with the Chiefs, or what Johnson was seeking in the settlement.
Woo Hoo!!!

He’s a distraction and at the end of his career. JC is much more exciting to watch and makes yards where LJ can’t.

Tony Dungy has said that if he was in Pioli’s chair, LJ would be gone. And this is from a guy who mentored Vick.

they time is near
He’s out of here!!!!! just hope he does not go to a dividion rival because with our luck, he’ll break records on our def.
I wonder if we can get anything for him…..wish we can get a quality player on defense to get that side going. Looks like we are cleaning up, hopefully to ger this going.
at this point the BEST thing that can hope is we get a playoff potential tem for NEXT season. DAMN!
WELL…..GO CHIEFS!

Man, he is Raider material though, don’t ya think?!? I don’t want to see his axx twice a year, but Al Davis is one twisted fellar.
I can’t fathom the chunk of change that Carl Peterson negotiated with him when he was holding out a few yrs ago…that just sickens me. Not one of Carl’s wiser financial moves. The $$$ we are going to have to pay LJ will directly affect the $$$ we could be giving TALENT to come to KC…damn LJ

Even I, Haley and Pioli’s biggest supporter, will be angry if they let him break the Chief’s rushing record. Kolby is back, start Charles and get rid of LJ….PLEASE!
