The Chiefs are bracing for a training-camp holdout by running back Larry Johnson. Johnson, who has rushed for 3,539 yards and 37 touchdowns the last two seasons, has 3 years left on the deal he signed as a rookie in 2003. He is scheduled to make $1.85 million this year and $967,000 next year. The Chiefs have been talking to Johnson's agent about a new deal, but the two sides still are far apart. A club source put the odds of Johnson holding out this summer at 50-50. Johnson, who owns a home in New York with rapper Jay-Z, showed up in Kansas City Sunday for the first time since the team began its voluntary workouts last month and has worked out with his teammates the last 2 days. He has indicated that he will attend the team's postdraft minicamp in 2 weeks.

Yeah, the Chiefs don't seem to be willing to renegotiate, so it looks like a holdout is just a formality at this point. Johnson's one of the better running backs in the league, and certainly one of the most used. While I don't normally condone guys holding out, I believe LJ has a point here. Pretty sure the deal he's working off of was when he was backing up Priest Holmes, not getting 30 carries a game.
