Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson is apparently ready to hold out of training camp if he doesn’t receive a new contact.
Before criticizing yet another athlete threatening to hold out for more money, consider that Johnson may be on point. He’s set to make only $1.7 million this year, which is well below market value for a guy that is still only 27, and handles the full running load every season. When you factor in how the Chiefs are normally pretty thrifty, Johnson has the right to find out whether the team he virtually carried on his back to the postseason last year is committed to him.
