Agent for Larry Johnson has spoken and he likens his client's release from the Chiefs to breaking up with a girlfriend.
Don't you hate it when you're dating someone and, when you want to break up with them, you have to weigh all your options like the money still due to her, signing bonus allocation and likely-to-be-earned incentives?
Okay, not the best analogy when you get down to it but LJ's agent spoke with The Associated Press.
"A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful," Johnson’s agent, Peter Schaffer, told The Associated Press. "There’s a lot of feelings going on right now. It’s analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens."
The part of LJ that is excited is the part that realizes he's getting the $2.1 million and $500,000 roster bonus he has coming to him no matter what. The part of him that's regretful is the part that realizes he'll never see that type of money again.
Johnson's agent now has his work cut out for him as he tries to find his client another team 10 days before his 30th birthday.

What a coincidence!
I’m excited! (That he got what was coming to him)and regretful (That it didn’t happen sooner)!

Seriously...
Tell his agent the feelings are mutual.

Well......
at least his agent doesn’t have to find him a new girlfriend too…………..now that would be tough.

I get his analogy

Yeah, 2.7 spit upon us too many times and now is paying the consequences.

No offense, man ...
But I wouldn’t have bought a 2.7 jersey even before he was cut.
by JacinB on Nov 9, 2009 11:59 AM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'll buy them off of you for $500...
…But you have to give me $1,000 first.
by ChiefsFan90s on Nov 9, 2009 12:02 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Put decimal points between the 2 and 7.
Then keep them. Go to games with a 2.7 jersey.

You know how we ex-girlfriends are...
…I did not realise I was a transgender though. Huge shock to me. Why can’t I be an ex-boyfriend. lol

He is upset over the break-up
Because he knows that no other girl is going to take him after he treated the last one so badly.

You never know...
Some girls never learn. Like other indian girls in Washington, or those amazon pirates in Oakland, or those cowgirls in Dallas (Okay, maybe they have finally learned there lesson for a little while.).
What is important is that the indian girls in KC finally learned their lesson.

Before we say he won't get paid again
Remember there are owners like Al Davis and Dan Snyder who will pay ‘name’ guys huge contracts up front.
by Chief-Eli on Nov 9, 2009 12:05 PM CST via mobile reply actions 0 recs
There is a whole thread here on where he might end up. I don't think there are many here that don't expect him to get paid again.
What I do believe is that most everyone here hopes he never gets paid again.
Yeah, let's just keep matriculatin' the ball down the field, boys! ...

I'd like to see him in Dan Snyders stable
We do not play the Redskins again for four years (barring a Superbowl meeting). I’d rather him just go to a team where we won’t see him against us. Larry does good with large holes created by the offensive line, occasionally our defense switches to that flow through type.

Excited and regretful
Maybe LJ is truly bipolar?

I'm extremely excited and regretful
I’m extremely excited he is leaving.
I’m extremely regretful that we trade the 16th pick in the 2003 NFL Draft for the 27th pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. We could have had Troy Polamalu.

Does this agent have an ANALOGY FOR EVERYTHING?
Wasn’t he referring to the situation a few weeks ago as the Cuban missile crisis or some crap? Can’t you just comment on a situation without comparing it to Donald Duck and Hiroshima and such?

He has to break
things down into simple terms so his players understand what he means.
by dragon6172 on Nov 9, 2009 12:50 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
well he got what he wanted for sure...
got paid and a free ticket out of town, maybe he can go play with Tony or Jared, they can share the “good ol” days stories….

I hope he gets picked up off waivers...
I dont know if I understand it right but wouldnt we save money if someone picks him up off of waivers
OHANA!

at this point, chambers/lj are almost money decisions...dont get me wrong, chambers looks like a really legit number 2
but…we did need to spend money…good position to be in when you are trying to redo a team
Vermeil did it to leslie oneil when he came to st louis.

LJ and the money.
MAybe i’m reading to much into a few of those quotes, but LJ sounds, plays, acts and looks like a player who is in the league to make money, nothing more, nothing less. And think about the way there was always something wrong with him, winning or losing, it’s hard to argue with that.

Last good player
I know I am in the minority here but its official we have no good players left on this team. This has to be the bottom of the barrel for the Chiefs. I would not be a bit surprised if LJ has another thousand yard season or two left in him. No Tony Gonzales, No Larry Johnson, No Bernard Pollard, and One Win.

He Doesn't Have Another 1,000 Yard Season In Him
Not only is he old and slow, but the only teams that are likely to take a chance on him are teams that have o-line problems.

I'm still mad
Yes L J is gone.good but Roger Goodell is a spineless punk. he can suspend packman and Vick for things they did but when it came to L J he punked out. now every one knows he is fake. I think the players that blocked him in court made him loose his nerve to try to suspend anyone.
