Do you really think that the way to rebuild a team is by trading a 26-year-old homegrown DE, who is one of the best in the league? What do you think “rebuilding” is? Do you really think its drafting a bunch of rookies and hoping for the best?A team that was really rebuilding would have signed JA long term. A team that was really rebuilding would have signed some veteran leadership to mentor the rookies. A team that was really rebuilding wouldn’t be trading young, franchise DEs for project players.
I mean, are you serious? Of course we’re not making it to the playoffs with this team. But locking down JA at the DE position would have made better for the next ten years.
Right now, we have nothing to build on. Every bit of talent is being stripped away. And people like you are saying its a good thing. Get your head on straight.
Yeah but he was pissed off and didn’t want to be here.. For some reason he doesn’t strike me as the “I will keep quiet, and do whats best for a team that will suck for the next couple of years” guy..
Mr. Oracle!

You just had the season of your career, and missed two games, you have completely changed your lifestyle to better suit the team, and can’t get a long term contract. Yet LJ, who has been a distraction in the locker room since he got here signed a fat long term contrat after one of his career years. How would that make you feel, I would have told Herm and Carl to fly a kite as well. IF you are gonna pay one, you should have paid the other. LJ has just as many character issues as JA does.
Part greed on Allen’s part, but flat out stupidity on Carl’s part.

I can agree.. Im just saying that if they weren’t going to pay him, he would have probably caused lots of problems in the locker room. Thats why it was best to trade him and get the picks. Whether they got their picks worth, well.. Who knows yet..

He’s gone. We know you don’t like it. Are you adding anything new to the conversation or is this just another reason to bring it up AGAIN!Lemme guess, you hate Herm and CP too.
this is the rude and insulting post? My true apologies, I did not know you were that sensitive.

Now that’s real maturity at it’s finest. I think each party in this “discussion” can handle their differences without negative reps being thrown around. And only because you haven’t met someone in person?
I think everyone needs to grow up a little and move already.

Participant::Ok, I’ve read enough of this thread to now that it has run it’s course and is beating a dead horse. It is rediculous to begin thread after thread on the same subject matter. Use the “Search” option for threads that are addressing the old outdated subject matter you wish to discuss.
If you’re sick of reading posts regarding a certain subject the stay away from threads discussing said subject matter. Start your own thread containing all new fresh content in which to discuss and respectfully debate over.
This is not rocket science!

And yet he kept so quiet in the ’06-’07 offseason, that you seem to have forgotten about it.
When the entire Chiefs world was focused on LJ and all the stink that he was making, JA was also trying to get an extension.
But JA shut his mouth and played without anyone ever hearing about his complaint for the rest of the season.
It is nothing but opinion, but I don’t think that JA would have been any trouble playing under the franchise tag.
Maybe for a bit before training camp. But he is just too happy-go-lucky to be a grouch all season.
I also believe hat by the end of this season, had he been playing here under the tag, he would have remained open to negotiations with The Chiefs, if Peterson were gone.
But that is just my opinion. It is based on the five days that I was around the guy at training camp, his friend (Boomer Grigsby)s opinion and his general demeanor in games.
Oh, and…
Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah! I got the last word!
