Johnson Wants out of K.C.

Unhappy with his diminished role in the Chiefs new shotgun offense, Larry Johnson wants out of Kansas City.

"There's no sense delaying the inevitable," Johnson said on 610 Sports Radio's Chris and Cowboy show. "I just think it's time for us to break ties. They can go on and find what they want. And I can try to go on and rebuild my career and find what I want," said Johnson, in a lengthy interview.

Entering the 3rd year of a $45 million contract, where he was promised the bulk of the carries but has seen his work load decrease every season since, Johnson wanted to leave last season but remained with the Chiefs after seeing Shaun Alexander and Edgerrin James' difficulty finding work.

"I'd rather just play somewhere else. I don't belong on this rebuilding team ... I'm not getting any younger and this team is getting a lot younger."
