Despite losing his grievance, Larry Johnson would still like to remain with the Chiefs, according to the Kansas City Star. His agent (Peter Schaffer) said, "He is excited about the direction the team is going in. What happened today has no bearing on his desire to play for the Chiefs."

Our View: The Chiefs may still decide to trade or release Johnson as his future guaranteed payments are not owed by the team. The team will have a chance to add a top back with the No. 3 pick in the upcoming draft if they wish to do so.

Grievance Hearings: Chiefs Win, Giants Lose

Source (footballguys.com) (RB - kc) | 0 comments.

NFL Players Association general counsel Richard Berthelsen said Special Master Stephen Burbank issued two rulings Monday after the union's grievance hearing last week. Burbank ruled that bonus money already earned cannot be forfeited by a player, meaning the New York Giants cannot dock Burress $1 million he earned as part of a new contract he signed in August 2008. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs aren't obligated to pay RB Larry Johnson his guaranteed salary and bonuses over the next two seasons. Burbank ruled that if the Chiefs cut him, they do not have to pay him a $3.5 million guaranteed salary next season because he breached his contract after being suspended last season, Berthelsen said.

No Ruling Yet On Chiefs Grievance Against RB Johnson

Source (footballguys.com) (RB - kc) | 0 comments.

A case between the Chiefs and RB Larry Johnson was heard Wednesday by a special master, but he made no ruling. At issue is $3.75 million of guaranteed money Johnson is due from the Chiefs in a contract extension he signed in August 2007. The contract calls for $3.5 million of Johnson's 2009 salary and $250,000 of his 2010 salary to be guaranteed regardless of whether he plays for them or not. The Chiefs claim the one-game suspension he received from the NFL last year for violating the league's personal-conduct policy is a breach of his contract and frees them from having to pay the guaranteed money.

I am a fan who can vouch for Larry's roots, because I grew up knowing his grandfather and his grandmother. From eastern North Carolina, I now live in Kansas, not far from Lawrence, and I am pulling for Larry now. Larry and Larry Sr have made Herman and Dorothy proud in so many ways.
