PACKERS MAKING A PLAY FOR L.J.?
Scout.com is reporting that the Packers have offered a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick to the Chiefs for running back Larry Johnson.
If true, the report is a stunner. Packers G.M. Ted Thompson doesn't like to pay big money to strangers to the team, and it's going to take really big money to keep Johnson beyond 2007, the last year of his rookie deal.
And if an offer that big has been made to the Chiefs for Johnson's rights, the Packers surely have reached a tentative agreement with Johnson's agent on a long-term deal. Otherwise, the Packers would be picking up Johnson for only one season before having to either use the franchise tag or let him walk away.​

Wouldn't Kansas City be asking for more then just 2 picks? Hell they want a 2 and a 7 for Green, I'd be surprised they wouldn't ask for 4 #1s from Green Bay

WOOOW!! KC could look at Lynch to replace LJ

here is another link regarding the possible trade from Scout.com:

"Scout.com reports that the Packers have offered a first and fourth-round pick for Larry Johnson.

The stunning part here is that a tentative contract would likely have to be worked out between the Packers and LJ before making this offer. Kansas City has dangled Johnson in recent days, perhaps worried about a holdout and his blocking ability. LJ reportedly wants more money than LaDainian Tomlinson and is a risk after his heavy 2006 workload. If the report is true, we suspect the two sides will be able to make a deal."
