Kansas City Chiefs Spokesman Says Rumors are Untrue
The preparation for the NFL football season has started already, with the draft that is being held this weekend, the rumors are there. The first one was the Kansas City Chiefs are trying to trade Larry Johnson, which they already said is untrue.
The spokesman for the Chiefs Bob Moore said on Thursday that they haven’t offered Johnson and that no team has permission of speaking with him. “Anybody who is reporting it’s true is simply not telling the truth,” Moore said.
Johnson, who is 27, is entering to his last year of contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. He declared and left very clear that he wants a deal worth more than the eight-year, $60 million contract San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson signed two years ago. His agent Alvin Keels said that he preferred not to comment.
The Chiefs invited four running backs: California’s Marshawn Lynch, Ohio State’s Antonio Pittman, Florida State’s Lorenzo Booker and Louisville’s Kolby Smith, for interviews, and have said they are willing to draft a running back in the early rounds. To trade Johnson right now makes no sense.
Johnson’s value has never been better. After rushing for 1,750 yards and 20 touchdowns in 2005, he accomplished 1,789 yards and had 17 touchdowns last season. His 2,199 yards from scrimmage accounted for 43 percent of the Chiefs’ total offense.
“He’s still a guy in his prime,” said former Houston Texans general manager Charley Casserly, who believes the Chiefs will sign Johnson to a contract extension. “I don’t know what they could get to replace him. Certainly a draft choice isn’t going to replace him.”
