Larry Johnson is still homeless

No one claimed Larry Johnson from waivers yesterday, which means the Chiefs are on the hook for the remaining $2.1 million of this year’s salary.

Plus, LJ can now sign wherever he wants  — if they’ll take him.

And in the biggest bit of bullshit you’ll read today, Johnson told Sports Illustrated‘s Dan Patrick that he’d like to finish his career with the Chiefs and become the team’s all-time leading rusher.

“Hopefully, maybe someday, when I’m 33, 34, and I’ve still got a little bit of burn left, they’ll allow me come back and get those yards. …

I started in Kansas City. I wouldn’t have no problem going back and trying to finish my career in Kansas City. To me, it seems only right.”

NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora says the Chicago Bears, New England Patriots and Washington Redskins have all expressed interest in “King Pink.” And LJ might end up with the Houston Texans, despite the Texans denying that they’re interested. (Hat tip to Arrowhead Pride).

But there may be hope for LJ. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeted this:

Larry Johnson’s agent Peter Schaffer said he’s “talking with many teams and two you would never guess.” I tried to guess, he wouldn’t bite.

Johnson has said he wants to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Arrowhead Pride also breaks down the interest by team. A real lack of CFL teams on that list.
