On Monday, the Chiefs officially cut Larry Johnson, running back. In his 75 games with Kansas City (55 starts), Johnson rushed for 5,996 yards on 1,375 carries (4.4 yard average) and had 55 touchdowns. Johnson also had 151 receptions with a total of 1,369 yards (9.1 yard average) and six touchdowns. His career with the Chiefs also included thirty 100 rushing yard games as well as two 100 receiving yard games.

Johnson also holds a single season NFL record with his 416 rushing attempts in the 2006 season in which he also set a single season franchise record with his 1,789 yards rushing. He entered the NFL originally as the first round selection for the Chiefs (27th overall) from Penn State in the NFL Draft of 2003.

He now faces waivers. Unless another team is willing to absorb a prorated amount of his $4.55 base salary as well as the $60,000 plus a game roster bonus, he will clear waivers and be an unrestricted free agent.

The former Chiefs player will also be eligible to collect the remainder of the base salary as his termination pay and keep any money that he earns if another team signs him.
