Chiefs To Release RB Larry Johnson

The Kansas City Chiefs will sever ties with problematic running back Larry Johnson, according to a team source that spoke to RealGM’s Jeff Risdon on Tuesday afternoon.
The league and the team are investigating a pair of recent incidents, including one where Johnson used a gay slur. This is not the first time Johnson has gotten himself in trouble by using a gay slur, having had to apologize for the same offense last season.
He was forced to apologize for this, as well as for negative comments directed at head coach Todd Haley. Haley has thus far refused comment.

The words were used by me in frustration, and they were not appropriate. I did not intend to offend anyone, but that is no excuse for what I said. ” “I also want to apologize to all the kids who view athletes as role models. I was not a good role model yesterday and hopefully I can become a better role model. We all make mistakes, and the challenge is to learn from them. I will do my best to learn from this one as I move toward becoming a better person, teammate, and member of the Kansas City chiefs team and community.” [...]
