Earlier in the offseason, Larry Johnson said he wanted to be traded. However, it seems as if Johnson has had a change of heart. With the Chiefs bringing in a new general manager and a new coaching staff, the former Pro Bowl running back says he’s happy in Kansas City.

Perhaps one motivation for his change of heart is due to his legal trouble. Larry Johnson pled guilty last week for his involvement in two separate incidents in Kansas City involving nightclubs and women. In one incident he allegedly pushed a woman, while the other incident involved Johnson allegedly pushing a woman.
Considering that NFL Roger Goodell is likely to suspend Johnson and the fact that NFL teams likely won’t be flocking to an admitted woman abuser who has seen his numbers plummet in recent years, this latest idea by Johnson was a good one. His best hope to restore his standing in the NFL is to clean up his personal life and regain his footing as a star running back on the football field.
One thing is certain, Johnson should stay out of the night clubs.
