Larry Johnson Signs, $19 Million in Guaranteed Money

Posted by: Blog Z

LJ (MSNBC.com)Larry Johnson has signed and finally ended his holdout. L.J. actually even practiced today with the first team. He was in Kansas City yesterday and many thought that he would be signed. Jay Glazer is reporting the details of the contract:

The star running back Johnson has agreed in principle to a new six-year, $45 million deal with Kansas City, FOXSports.com has learned. The contract includes $19 million in guaranteed money. Johnson is expected to rejoin his team on Tuesday.

From the K.C. Star:

As for Johnson’s five-year extension, he will earn $43.2 million, making him the highest-paid running back in the NFL based on average salary per year. Johnson is guaranteed $19 million and will make $27.7 million over the first three years of the extension.

Johnson wasn’t just watching practice, either. He took carries with the starting unit, and was pass-blocking during live work.

We will have more on this later, it’s just nice to finally have our best player back.

    Welcome home, LJ – now prove those of us (including, sadly me) wrong by not falling victim to the curse of 370.-cw

  2. 2. Zach Says:

    LJ is going to be fine. I actually think he is more ready for this season than any of the previous because of his new off-season workout program.

    SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!! About time the paid the man!!! Now lets get this season in high gear!!!

    Now we can see our offense. Now if we can get our o-line in shape, we can be a tough team to beat.

    Hey webb her you go…Even with ECK sitting again on the sidelines this week, having LJ and maybe even Priest back on the field…the main thing to watch will be the O-line…this team will only go as far as the o-line takes them. and whats up with MAC?? is he any closer to comming back at left tackle?

    I dont think we will see Larry on Thursday but if we do I think he will get 3-4 touches and thats it. Hell I wouldnt play him at all doing practice preseason.

    Big MAC is trying to be back for the first game but I think we will see him on week 2 or 3. No need to rush a guy back that we will need the entire season.

    I hear that…BUT our bet for the Chicago game is still on :)

    yeppers… I still think that we take houston but man with their front D-line it will make it tough

    [...] For those wondering whether to take him in their fantasy draft or not, Larry Johnson just signed a large contract with the Chiefs meaning he’ll be happy for at least 8 weeks or so. [Arrowhead Addict] [...]

  13. 13. aaasports Says:

    I'm glad LJ is back – it will probably be the only offense we have again this year.  The receivers definitely won't do anything.

    [...] But now it gets interesting; after the story aired on the news last night, SBL went back and posted “updated” versions of the song online… with new wording. Just overnight, LJ decided that he would “never play for another team.” I wonder why? [...]
