Kansas City Chiefs Suspend Larry Johnson Until November 9th

Update 9:35 PM: Larry Johnson will appeal the suspension

The Kansas City Chiefs have suspended RB Larry Johnson until November 9th.  Per the Mothership:

The Kansas City Chiefs have suspended RB Larry Johnson for Conduct Detrimental to the Club effective immediately. Johnson will not be permitted to participate in any team activities or be on team premises until Monday, November 9th. The Chiefs will have no further comment on Johnson’s status at this time.

That means no practice, no team meetings and no time in the Chiefs facilities. 

The official reason is Conduct Detrimental to the Team.  Per Kent Babb at the Kansas City Star, this will cost LJ two game checks totaling $660,000.

This also means that he will miss next Sunday's game (November 8th) against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

There's still no guarantee the Chiefs will keep LJ following the suspension or what kind of involvement the NFL will have (if any).

that's a start

* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season

that's the best case scenario

He’s out, Charles/Smith step up and show enough progress that LJ doesn’t get to start (even if he doesn’t get cut)

Something has to change on the offense, so maybe this is the spark they needed

I hope they dont cut him...

I hope he gets dropped to third on the depth chart so he doesn’t get his way. And then at the end of the season when his contract is no longer guaranteed then ax him. He will have to take damn near league minimum to play for anyone next year.

I think more speed and better burst will give them a better shot at loosening things up a little.

Savage, Smith and Charles have a better chance of finding ways to break big plays. Kind of on the edge of my seat to see if Smith gets any touches, what he can do with it and whether he can survive intact if he does!

Still watching KC-SD again… Brandon Carr lets Jackson into the middle virtually unopposed. Of all the Chiefs, he oughta be playing with inside leverage. Very next play, Vincent Jackson easily outmaneuvers Flowers and Rivers throws the easy pass where Flowers has no chance of making a play. I like Flowers, but he’s WAY overmatched.

There IS some talent in this secondary. Maybe not enough, but I don’t like the way they’re employed, particularly. Don’t like the techniques they use, much.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

it's a start... and they are hitting him where it hurts

“you can’t touch my money” LJ said…

“Oh yeah? Watch me”. – Pioli

If they cut him, it wouldn’t cost him a dime this year… the suspension is a good start… see what the league wants to do, then decide whether to bench or cut him

Agree

So LJ will be back after the Jacksonville Jaguars’ game?

by ChiefsFan90s on Oct 28, 2009 10:04 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Bench or suspend

There is no way the Chiefs want Larry Johnson to be the all time leading rusher.

He has to be placed on waivers, suspended or benched.

It would have been nice to suspend him for the next four weeks

and then when he got back just released him, yeh 660,000 is alot to us but this isnt too much to him, I guess no new maybach this year for him

They have to play it carefully.

This sort of thing can not only hurt the team NOW, but make players leery of coming to KC in the first place if Larry can portray the situation as mgmt punkin’ a loyal trooper.

Ideally, the org doesn’t have to do the pushing. Just act shocked and dismayed by his detrimental-to-the-team behavior. This is one they might be able to cry all the way to the bank on, if enough outside folks get stirred up. The league might want to set a precedent on this sort of behavior, and I expect they have the fine print to back ’em if they choose to take a hard line on LJ, in which case the Chiefs might see more positive out of this than LJ (apparently) calculated.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.

by hmills110 on Oct 28, 2009 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

true

but if LJ was released I dont think players would be worried about coming here. People have short memories and besides: everyone is seeing how he is acting. As long as you arent a complete ass then KC is one of the best places to play

2 games is about right for this IMO

Yes, what he said was terrible. But four games seems excessive to me.

Agreed although still surprised

I think the Chiefs and the NFL were acting together on this so I believe the NFL knew what the Chiefs were going to do.

That’s surprising though because I figured it might be more than one game.

by Joel Thorman on Oct 28, 2009 8:16 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

i guess they figured

2 game checks gets the point across, do we know if LJ and the commish met face to face? Im sure that would have made news but after hes secret rendezvous with Vick in Jersey its possible, right?

I think the punishment fit the crime

And its not as if his comments were unprovoked. I even remember one or two peeps on this site conspiring to post shit on his twitter. Im NOT defending his actions or his words, because he was WRONG, but no one was physically hurt and his comments were made out of anger (and an overinflated ego), so i believe a game suspension is a great start. Remember, they could always suspend him more when they get more info from the investigation

I don't buy that it was just LJ being frustrated in the moment.

This looks like a calculated slap in the face that LJ thinks his guaranteed money lets him get away with.

I could be wrong, but ... isn't it possible the league could assess additional penalties and/or fines?

but

if Goodell thought it was too weak a punishment im sure he would have stepped in.
It was probably two-fold, again if you believe it ends here, to show him KC isn’t going to just let him out of his contract so easily AND show Goodell we are taking the issue seriously.

Yes but

As I was saying above, they were working together on this from what I understand. I imagine this suspension is a joint effort with the league and the team.

it's not just for saying the same word

it’s for saying the same word twice, making another derogatory reference (christopher street boy) and also challenging the credentials of his coach. not to mention the “ego, ego, ego” post he made that was presumably aimed at chiefs management/coaching. it is conduct detrimental to the team as it does nothing but cause distractions and takes energy away from trying to win games.

Personally I would suspend him the max 4 games but unfortuntly this was just about right

since it wouldn’t have held up in an appeal. Granted it sure would have been interesting to see LJ appeal a max suspension for saying one word and then have the NFL having to deal with GLAD.

2. Clancy Pendergast won't make it to the 2010 season and was never intended to. Last-minute hire for a position that needed to be filled.
3. Todd Haley will not be the OC at the start of the 2010 season.

Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!

or maybe "free parking"

for 1 game. We figured up at work tonight that they make just around $500k per game off of parking revenue alone.

Please explain to me...

A couple of radio shows that I listen to have reported that due to the contract ruling that LJ had during the offseason; a master ruler stated that the last trouble that LJ got in was a violation of his contract and thus voided the garunteed money to be provided by the Chiefs. This would mean that any point the Chiefs cut him from this point forward…the would not be required to pay him any remaining money on his contract. I.e…300,000 a week?
If i remember right, this was a big question after the ruling of wether the Chiefs would cut him at that time.
I understand it still would have cap penalties; but it is not like he would still get paid if we outright released him.

Can anyone clearify this ruling from over the offseason?

Nevermind - I think I found my answer

Chiefs would not have been required to pay him any of his guaranteed money, if we would have cut him prior to the start of the season.

Off topic

Can anyone tell me what “cakn patna” means? As in LJ’s tweet: “But I’m cakn patna.” Driving me czray. Even urbandictionary doesn’t have it.

im fairly certain

that saying you are cakin’ has to do with you making a lot of money. Patna is obviously just slang for partner.

A man who says he can, and a man who says he can't are both right. Which one are you?

He is an "east side cat"

Maybe he will do a guest spot on ESPN

That would be funny. HERM & LJ long lost lovers.

One door closes...

Now that Larry will be gone for a bit I think this will be a good time for us to see exactly how good Jamal Charles is. As long as he holds onto the ball I think he will DEFINITELY improve our offense!!

by javim100 on Oct 29, 2009 12:39 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Good luck with that

Nothing in his history shows he will hold onto the ball. I thought beating the Jags was pretty good, now I am not sure.

Predictions for 2009:

LJ runs for 1800 yards
Bowe in the pro bowl
Chiefs D finishes in the top 10 in points allowed
Chiefs 10-6
