One more foot out the door for LJ?
The Kansas City Chiefs drafted running back Javarris Williams in the seventh round yesterday. Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star points out that drafting a power back similar to Larry Johnson may mean that LJ is one step closer to being released.
Williams, who played for Tennessee State, finished as the school's second all-time leading rusher (4,329 yards).
The Chiefs have already won a grievance against Johnson saying the Chiefs won't have to pay Johnson $3.75 million in guaranteed money in 2009 and 2010 if they release him. If they don't release him, he will earn $4.55 million in 2009.
In the past two seasons, LJ has played only 20 games due to injuries and suspensions.
