"Larry Johnson's record-breaking career as a Kansas City running back is over. The Chiefs confirmed Monday that they had run out of patience with his off-the-field problems and released Johnson the day he was due to come back from his second suspension in a year. Johnson, who turns 30 on Nov. 19, was just 75 yards away from breaking Priest Holmes' team rushing record. The decision by the Chiefs (1-7) was not a surprise.
"A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful," Johnson's agent, Peter Schaffer, told the Associated Press. "There's a lot of feelings going on right now. It's analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens (Sportsline)."
No surprise here, and I agree with the move. Larry Johnson is still too talented for someone not to take a chance on him. The question is who? The Patriots could be in the mix, but I kind of doubt it since Maroney is running ok, and they are expecting Morris back soon. The Cardinals, Seahawks, and maybe even the Redskins (since Portis is hurt) would be at the top of my list as possible teams that could go for him. I am sure there will be a lot of rumors over the next couple of days...
