Here's the full text of the release: "The Kansas City Chiefs released RB Larry Johnson on Monday. In 75 games (55 starts) with Kansas City, Johnson rushed 1,375 times for 5,996 yards (4.4 avg.) with 55 touchdowns. He also registered 151 receptions for 1,369 yards (9.1 avg.) with six TDs. He concluded his Chiefs career with 30 100-yard rushing games and also added two 100-yard receiving games.

i think the timing of this is ridiculous, last year he physically assaulted a woman, poured alcohol on her and spit on her. That wasn't enough to get him released but if you say a certain f word that's offensive to gays, you're gone.

cheifs clearly don't care about the conduct of their players, they're simply avoiding criticism from large special interest groups that support gay rights.

don't get me wrong, LJ is despicable, but he should have been released last year, foul language is nowhere close to what got him in trouble last year. clearly this wasn't a zero tolerance issue as he would have been let go right away.

Well this year they have a new leadership organization and I think you may be forgetting that he along with the slurs he also publicly bashed the coaching staff and the organization.

Not to mention it makes it easier to release someone when you realize he is officially past his prime and no longer really helping your team in anyway.

I don't think avoiding criticism from gay rights groups was a big factor in this at all. The Chiefs just had enough and I doubt anyone blames them.

I think we are forgetting that he publicy bashed the new coach and organization and that probably played a bigger role in this that the slur he used. That and the fact that it is obvious this year that LJ is not going to help the team win on the field any longer which also makes it a bit easier to cut him. Who cares, he is garbage and the Chielfs were sick of it.

See.. you're such a winner...

Of course, I'm sure in your mind, women are lower lifeforms and deserve to be treated as such... I doubt you're much different than LJ, and I feel sorry for your wife and kids...

I should've phrased it in a way to where I'm referring to the Southpark definition of ***.

Go watch the last episode.

My wife and kids would disagree with you.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
