[QUOTE="PackOne, post: 145601, member: 544"] [b]Re: scout.com reports packers have offered 1st and 4th for L[/b] Latest PFT quote ... A league source tells us that no firm offer has been made by the Packers for Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, or any other team. But the source specifically used the words "no firm offer," which suggests that there have been discussions. The source also says that the Chiefs have not given Johnson's agent, Alvin Keels, permission to shop for a deal with another team. But it's now obvious to us that the Chiefs are willing to move Johnson. As we understand it, the overriding issue is the money -- specifically, the precise amount that it will take to get Johnson under contract beyond 2008. Johnson apparently wants far more than the Chiefs will pay, so the Chiefs are looking to ship him off to another city. With that said, we're confused as to why the Chiefs have waited so long to put Johnson on the shelf. There's not enough time to get a trade worked out with another team and a long-term deal worked out with Johnson, if the Chiefs' hope to trade him for 2007 draft picks. And now that the cat is out of the bag (and peeing all over the room) regarding a possible trade, the Chiefs could be in a very delicate situation this season, if a trade can't get done. Johnson has been known to be a little temperamental, and the coaching staff and the front office might be tiptoeing on eggshells in 2007 in order to keep L.J. from pulling a T.O. [/QUOTE]
