Any KC Fans?

Trying to get info on the rumor of Larry Johnson going to the Phins?

I know he's in Vermils dog house, but Vermil is the same guy that tried to hug Lawrence Phillips into being a great person...

All I can say is 0-4 after Baltimore has an afternoon with them

By the way VEL, I found this, if it answers some questions...

The Chiefs don't appear to be aggressively seeking offers for discontented halfback Larry Johnson but would part with him if the right one came along before the NFL's Oct. 19 trading deadline.

The Chiefs have held recent substantive discussions with at least four teams regarding Johnson — Tampa Bay, Miami, Philadelphia and Dallas.

Each of the four teams has an issue at halfback and could use some depth at the least. However, The Dallas Morning News reported the Cowboys are not interested in Johnson.

The Dolphins are desperate for a runner after losing their starting halfback, Lamar Gordon, for at least Sunday's game and possibly much longer because of a shoulder injury.

Tampa Bay also lost Charlie Garner for the season Sunday because of knee damage.

But both teams are 0-3 and in danger of falling from the playoff race, leaving them with little reason to make a trade for Johnson, the Chiefs' third-stringer.

The Chiefs had no discussions with any team about Johnson on Monday and aren't optimistic a trade can be arranged by the deadline. That situation could change quickly if a team meets the Chiefs' demands.

Those could include a veteran player at linebacker, wide receiver or cornerback or a draft pick.

The efforts to trade Johnson appear to have more to do with the Chiefs' excess at halfback than Johnson's unhappiness or his recent public quarrel with coach Dick Vermeil.

Johnson is rooted on the bench behind Priest Holmes and Derrick Blaylock. He hasn't had a rushing attempt or caught a pass this year.

Johnson has made no attempt to hide his unhappiness with the Chiefs since being drafted by them in the first round last season. He played in only six games as a rookie.

Vermeil last week said it was time for Johnson “to take the diaper off and go play” when it appeared an ankle injury would keep Holmes from playing in Sunday's game against Houston.

Johnson responded by saying he didn't appreciate the sentiment.

“I don't need another grown man telling me I need to take the diapers off,” he said last week.

The two later met to discuss the issue. Vermeil said Monday he didn't wish to part with Johnson.

“Personally, no,” he said.

“Larry's got a long way to go. I'd just as soon see him do it here. He's got talent, and he can be a very fine player.”

Lol at the line "both teams are close to falling out of playoff contention. No, the Dolphins are falling out of winning a game contention.

Denny Green made a comment like that in the year the Vikings fell off, 2002 I think. We were like 5-8 maybe and he said "Our chances of making the playoffs all come down to this next game" or something. People were pissed, he was fired soon thereafter.

I dunno, with Holmes being injured I don't see why they wouldn't hold onto him, at least in the short-term. Priest isn't gonna be around forever.

[Gertner]

Larry wasn't too happy with k.c drafting him in the first place. Trades don't happen very often, especially with the salary cap. I can see him sitting on the bunch until his contract comes up.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Priest isnt exactly young. If I were them I hold onto any young talent I can find.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

and considering they were so high on Johnson that they picked him over Nick Barnett when they still have a horrible defense, they better keep him

[#1-norm-fan]

lol. Miami is gonna have like 20 running backs on their roster by season's end and still trying to find a starter.

Luckily for them, they should be able to draft a good back with the first pick of next year's draft.

[BCWWF]

Then watch them draft Darren Sproles

[Crimson]

Or they could draft a Cadillac...

[The Outlaw]

True.
