Hit The Road, Chiefs Back Larry Johnson Released

The Kansas City Chiefs confirmed today that they have released its former star running back Larry Johnson. He was just 75 yards away from breaking Priest Holmes team rushing record.

Johnson's career has been filled with controversy and his latest antics proved to be the last straw. On October 25, Johnson posted on his Twitter account several insults to fans, questioned coach Todd Haley's credentials and used a gay slur. He repeated the slur the next day to reporters and was suspended by the Chiefs for two weeks.

The 30-year-old is on the downside of an otherwise solid career on the field for Kansas City. He ends his Chiefs career with 5,996 yards rushing and 55 touchdowns. He also caught 151 passes for 1,369 yards and six TDs.
