What is Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson worth? A whole heck of a lot, according to Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star. In a recent article, Whitlock states "the deal that LaDainian Tomlinson, the league’s best running back, signed in 2004 is obsolete when talking about Larry Johnson’s value in today’s market... If the Chargers signed LT today, he would garner a $30 million signing bonus and $36 million over the first three years of the contract... Under that scenario, what does the game’s second-best running back deserve? Larry and his agent have virtually no choice but to demand $25 million in guarantees."

I go along with that....he has to leverage a high signing bonus...chances are this is the last time he can leverage a contract that high...after 3 more years and 1,200 more touches...he will be lucky to get hlaf of that.
