Also I don't think anyone is saying he plays for 6 years. I think that's just them giving him what he asks for.

For perspective, the Broncos signed Travis Henry for 6 years with $12 million guaranteed and that guy is 30 years old and has literally no chance to play 6 seasons.

12 million <<<<< 25 million.

Everything is about guaranteed money in the NFL, the Broncos can run him for 3 years for 4 million/per, whereas after LJ breaks down in 3 years (or less), KC is paying him 8 million/per.

I know quite well the history of following up years like that. However, ppl saying a lot of carries over time doesn't matter are wrong. That can be every bit as bad for a guy's prospects if you look at the histories.

I'm all over the LJ is an injury-risk bandwagon. At the same time we can't lose sight of how young this guy is in terms of career carries. Even going back to college he barely had any.
