Chiefs Release Larry Johnson
-
get him. with JL being slow and JH not getting enough carries another semi veteran RB will be a big help to the running game.
-
i'm pretty sure that the way mangini is going that he won't even look at him. he wants to build through the draft but if god answers prayers, then he won't even be here next season. look for a team like the seahawks, colts, raiders, 49ers (a nice 1-2 punch would be nice out there), texans, and broncos to look at him. my money is on the texans. they ahve a decent team and could win a wild card spot. slaton has been nothing like last year and they could use a running back.
-
No he's a bitch. Plus I have him on my fantasy team, I want him to go to a good team. JK.
-
Slaton could use a fresh start for sure. We are so bad right now that anyone with solid experience can improve us. And im sure that top quality agent will not be sniffing near Cleveland - We can only chose to take what is available.
-
Just what we need...................another washed up, over the hill RB.
How about we start doing it the right way. Let's go out and draft a top notch RB and quit taking other teams scraps.
-
He is not washed up. He is 29 and still servicable. He has decent speed and a huge body. Will be a good stop gap once Lewis retires.

Not a good move at a time when you are trying to shed the dysfunctional image. His talent is questionable, his moral compass is askew, and his common sense is non-existent!Can he run well ? If yes, then im game for giving him a shot.

Let's get em so we can find out what's really going on with the team on his twitter page. Maybe he'll call out Mangini in one of his tweet rants...Might make the rest of the season a little more interesting.

hehehe no i was hoping he could turn over a new leaf, but yeah if Mangini is forced to deal with his personalities like him it will help in the future when dealing with prima donnas like BE (lol)
-
There are a zillion reasons why Mangini would never bring this guy in. We will probably read a dozen or so of them.
This being said, Belichick did bring in Moss.
I say that the Browns SHOULD bring him in. I am not predicting that they will. I believe not bringing him in is a mistake.

I thought the national media said that it was KOKINIS that wanted to build through the draft.
Apparently, Mangini wants to build with washed up Jets players.

HAHAHA That was the funniest thing I've read in a while. Thanks for brightening my day.
You have to have a decent sense of humor to be a cleveland fan though, right?

Are you really that desperate for a win, or just a good performance, that you are willing to throw a bucket of water in to a sinking ship rather than trying to fix the ship?If he still has the talent then he deserves a shot. He would have learnt his lessons or atleast try to keep a cleaner image where he is going. And we know that he can perform. Our RB position needs an upgrade and the only question is can he be the upgrade even if he is a short term answer. Cos i do not see any noteworthy big RB in the draft who will be our answer to the JL retirement. If Larry is a failure then we will cut him wont we ?

4 assaults of women in 5 years, gay slurs, sounds like someone has dorment latency issues. Maybe that is why he was such a good back, he didn't want to be touched.

How many arrests?
How many convictions?
"God is great. Beer is good. People are crazy." -
well, he's had a fantastic year behind an OL that's on par with ours.....sure he can run, just not well. 2.7 YPC is right on par with what we have now, so tell me again how this would be an upgrade? he had 2 great seasons of 6.....hasn't played a full season since '06....
sure...go get 'im......he'd definitely not dissappoint....lol

Dude, come on. That behavior is unacceptable no matter how many times he got "convicted". Money talks.

Will Larry Johnson be the new RB?
With Clinton Portis likely missing Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, the Redskins could have a new running back on the roster in the next few days. What's not as clear: whether Larry Johnson will be that new running back.
Johnson was released this morning by the Kansas City Chiefs. If he clears waivers, he'd become an unrestricted free agent and any team would be free to negotiate for his services.
There are several reasons the deal could go down. First, Portis' status is unknown. Coach Jim Zorn was essentially guessing that Portis would be unavailable this weekend. He said the running back did suffer a concussion in Sunday's loss at Atlanta. The two spoke this morning and Portis told Zorn he still had a headache. The league is taking concussions more seriously than ever, evidenced most recently by the fact that the Eagles' Brian Westbrook missed his second straight game last weekend since suffering a concussion against the Redskins on Oct. 26.
Johnson, who leaves Kansas City after a drama-filled couple of weeks, turns 30 later this month. He wouldn't be a long-term solution for the Redskins, but neither was Shaun Alexander, whom the Redskins signed last October when Ladell Betts was banged up.
Speaking to reporters today, Zorn did not rule out the possibility of the Redskins pursuing Johnson. He said the team has had internal discussions this morning and will continue to talk about the troubled running back.
Zorn said the team will likely sign a running back if Portis can't play -- he specifically mention Quinton Ganther, whom the team released last Friday. As for Johnson, "I don't know," Zorn said.
"I need to have a longer conversation than I've had to make a decision," Zorn said.
Because of his Johnson's salary -- he'd be paid a prorated sum of $4.55 million base salary for the remainder of the season -- Johnson is expected to clear waivers.

Wow this is already a topic i posted weeks ago!!!! I am for getting rid of twinkle toes who is retiring anyways but feel Johnson could add a spark for a few years until his flame burns out like lewis's did. We need to build in the draft!!!! Johnson is only a short term anwser to a long term problem.
-
Build through the draft............how has that worked out for the browns and the Indians.
Browns have the same record they had after the friggin expansion draft.....10 years ago.
Mangini drafts Maclin or Clay Matthews 1st rd and Rey Rey 2nd I might believe you.......but we are dead in the water
Until the new coach/pressy and gm show up.
