Chiefs Release L. Johnson

With L. Johnson and Edge being available, I don't see any team trading with us for Portis (not that it was realistic, but still). I wonder if the Browns will pick up L. Johnson.

Kansas City Chiefs release troubled running back Larry Johnson - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4637300)

The guy is a cancer, he might as well retire.

WOW they got a lot of money tied up in him to release him don't they

Larry Johnson = Shaun Alexander

Clinton Portis = Shaun Alexander

Johnson and Portis have the old running back syndrome aka the Shaun Alexander complex. The use to be premier running backs but cease to run hard. They choose to fall down on contact or perceived contact or run out of bounds.

Good move for KC. F him, dont want to see that cancer near Fed Ex. In a locker room that is already weak with leadership, adding him would be a huge mistake.

LJ won't be on the market on long. He's still good.

Can you tell me what part of my initial post said anything about him coming to Fed Ex?

Really? Clinton Portis = Shaun Alexander? You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

He'll probably clear waivers first because he's owed $2.1 million in base and I think like $500k in bonuses, so no one's going to sign him right away.

shaun alexander was a complete and utter product of an offensive line and fullback that got very little respect for what they had actually done

they had turned a scrub running back into a record breaker and a perennial all pro

shaun alexander wasnt a good running back but he was getting a lot of credit for what steve hutchinson and mack strong were actually doing

clinton portis and jarry johnson get their numbers behind pretty bad lines and not one great standout.....thats not even close to the right comparison
