Ask PFW: Back from the Bye
By Erik ScalavinoThe Patriots may not have worked this past weekend, but PFW did to answer this week's batch of fan mail.
If the [Kansas City] Chiefs do cut [running back] Larry Johnson is there any chance the Pats pick him up and try to make him the next "Corey Dillon project," or would he be to high-risk? Thanks, and keep up the good work. Zack Ross
Hey guys, do you see Larry Johnson landing in New England if/when KC decides to part ways with him? Roy Kiesler
Short answer: no. You may have seen the reports over the bye weekend that Kansas City and Johnson have struck a deal, whereby he will remain suspended for two games (until November 9, for recent inflammatory comments he made) but will only be docked one game check (NFL players are paid weekly over the course of the 17-week regular season). It sounds like he'll remain a Chief, at least for the remainder of this season. Where he winds up next year is anyone's guess at this point, but I'd be surprised if it's here in New England.
