I'm reading something different: FOX: Not looking good in KCFOXSports.com's John Czarnecki blogging on the Larry Johnson holdout: "The Chiefs will give him a raise, maybe, but they will never give him the $28 million in guarantees that Tomlinson received. I don’t see how Johnson’s holdout – apparently he listens a lot to his mother – comes to a satisfactory conclusion because Chiefs President Carl Peterson is pretty stubborn and firmly believes that no other team would give Johnson that kind of bonus money, either... The Chiefs might go halfway with L.J., but there are reports that Coach Herm Edwards wouldn’t mind trading him, believing the holdout distraction is not worth the aggravation." In our opinion the Chiefs have two options: Pay him or trade him. It's that simple. If Johnson is sitting on a couch while the Chiefs are 1-3 the fans will blame them, not Johnson.Posted on Aug 11, 2007 - 4:06 PM
