www.profootballtalk.com according the Adam Schefter
Only reason why i post this "besides the fact it really comes from schefter" is the idea maybe if theres smoke there may be a fire. I knew LJ was close to freeagency but i didn't realize it was going to be next year. That being said i doubt they trade him.
L.J. SCHEDULED FOR 2008 FREE AGENCY
Adam Schefter of NFL Network explains that Chiefs running back Larry Johnson's performance since entering the league in 2003 has allowed him to void the final two years of his rookie deal. As a result, he'll be a free agent in 2008.
Unless, of course, the Chiefs sign him to a long-term deal. Or apply the franchise tag to him next February.
The possibility that Johnson could be gone by next year at this time could be the reason for the team's decision to bring in tailbacks who are part of this year's draft class.
Though Schefter says that it doesn't appear that Johnson is on the trading block, a media source with knowledge of the dynamics in the K.C. front office firmly believes that the team is floating the notion that they are willing to move Johnson.
Hey, why don't the Bills offer the No. 12 overall pick straight up for Johnson? Then, the Chiefs can send the No. 23 pick and the No. 12 pick to Washington, if Adrian Peterson is still on the board at No. 6. Heck, under the trade chart the Cheifs could climb as high as No. 4, where they'd be certain to nail down Adrian Peterson.
Yet again, we've identified a scenario that makes way too much sense to ever happen.
