The settlement between the Kansas City Chiefs and running back Larry Johnson regarding his suspension means both sides are interested in continuing their working relationship.
There was speculation the settlement talks could mean the Chiefs and Johnson might be parting ways. However, the end game of the settlement is that Johnson will be docked one pay check rather than two. The Chiefs were hoping to dock Johnson two games. The Chiefs are on a bye this week and play Jacksonville on Nov. 8. Johnson is off his suspension Nov. 9.
That is a good sign that both sides can move on from this issue.
“What is important is that it wasn’t adverse,” Johnson’s agent said of the settlement. “What is important to Larry is that he and the Chiefs are on the good terms and that he stays a productive player.”
