Trading Block as Well

It's been widely discussed that the Chiefs are considering tradingTony Gonzalez (the prime report being that he could head to the Giants) although things could get complicated because they've said they want a third rounder for him and some teams are "smart" enough to think that's too much.

Which makes one wonder how much they'd need to get in return for Larry Johnson, who, according to Jay Glazer, they have been shopping around the league.

... the Chiefs have also been offering star running back Larry Johnson as well, informing teams he could also be available for the right offer.

"Right offer" is obviously insanely ambiguous, but that's probably because the perceived value of LJ around the league is entirely different.

For a playoff team that needs to beef up their running game -- awkward that the Colts suddenly have only Dominic Rhodes isn't it? -- he could be a good fit, provided they were willing to deal with his hefty contract. And demands for field-side diaper service.

Oh yeah, and the other problem is that, all of his talent aside, he's been abused by Herm Edwards in terms of carry load over the past few years. So yeah, if the Chiefs could move him it would be great, but I don't see it happening in the next week.
