    Packers Offer Picks To Chiefs for Johnson - PFT

    After checking the calendar to make sure its not April 1, here's a post of PFT repeating scout.com's rumor that the Packers have made an offer to get Larry Johnson.

    I can't believe it, sounds more like the Chiefs are trying to create some movement.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    PACKERS MAKING A PLAY FOR L.J.?

    Scout.com is reporting that the Packers have offered a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick to the Chiefs for running back Larry Johnson.

    If true, the report is a stunner. Packers G.M. Ted Thompson doesn't like to pay big money to strangers to the team, and it's going to take really big money to keep Johnson beyond 2007, the last year of his rookie deal.

    And if an offer that big has been made to the Chiefs for Johnson's rights, the Packers surely have reached a tentative agreement with Johnson's agent on a long-term deal. Otherwise, the Packers would be picking up Johnson for only one season before having to either use the franchise tag or let him walk away.

      If this is actually true and they actually land LJ I will go on a 3 day bender to celebrate.

        Packers make offer for Johnson
        PackerReport.com has confirmed that the Green Bay Packers have made an offer with the Kansas City Chiefs to acquire Larry Johnson. What are the Packers dangling in front of the Chiefs for the Pro Bowl running back? Read it here first, premium members!
        Sorry, don't have a subscription, so can't confirm the details of the story on the site.

          For the record, I don't like it. Johnson carried the ball edit: 416 (not 475) times last season. A ridiculous load. He is due for a down year. Unless its less than a first and for less money that would seem obvious.

          Football Outsiders has done some research indicating that this kind of workload, even for one season, predicts bad results the following year:

              Oh no! Not another rumor.

              This off-season has been a roller coaster of rumors for the Pack: a Moss trade, a little something about Turner, now LJ.

              A 1st and 4th for LJ. His he a better option than what could be available in this years draft? Besides Peterson - I say yes. But giving up the fourth too.....Hmm. Not sure I like that. Seems like alot and it just doesn't fit TT's style.

              My proposal: Swap 1sts with KC and throw in the 4th or even as high as a 3rd rounder for LJ. I'd like that better.

                Thats not enough compensation. Unlike Washington/Chicago, theres not that much dispairity between the picks that there is much value there to swap firsts.

                I don't have a problem with the compensation, and I'm a cheap bastard! But, I do have a problem believing that Thompson has actually done this.

                I disagree that Thompson would have a problem paying LJ, he wouldn't, but parting with two draft picks AND paying him, well, I'm skeptical.

                Personally, I'd think if he really wanted to trade for a RB, he'd be all over Julius Jones before either Michael Turner or LJ.

                But, we'll see... If this is true, it'll be nice validation for me that Thompson knows there is an RB problem, UNLIKE the public statements he's made.

                  It's smells like another pile of horseshit.

                  A first round pick plus a fourth for LJ. . .mmmmm.

                  Does that sound like Ted Thompson? The MAN 'of the draft' ??

                    How old is LJ? It’s mentioned he has too many carries and is due for a breakdown. I’m sure M3 will lighten his load. If he has 5 good years left in him ‘m for it and TT should rip up his rookie deal and give him a new one. If we can get Weddle in the second and Stanton in the third it will be a great draft for TT (ok…I’m dreaming again)! Man, I’m glad the draft is less than 48 hours away!!!

                      This one is to hard to believe.

                        Maybe ARod is part of the deal? After all the Chiefs are trying to ship off Trent Green. Do they have anyone else at QB?

                            And wasn't the Moss deal supposed to be all but done too? I'll believe it when it doesn't have the words "reported" and "if true" in the description.

                            As far as a workload goes, Morency will get plenty of snaps as well so I would be surprised if LJ got much more than 320-330 carries next year should this whole thing come to fruition.
