L.J. says he wants out of K.C.

? Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, fresh off a problem-plagued season, said he wants to leave Kansas City.

Speaking Wednesday morning on 610 Sports Radio, Johnson said he thinks it’s time for him and the Chiefs to “break ties.”

“They can go on and find what they want. And I can try to go on and rebuild my career and find what I want,” Johnson said.

Chiefs spokesman Bob Moore said there was nothing that came out of the interview that hadn’t been talked about before. Johnson, who has spent his six-year career in Kansas City, said in December that he felt he had no future with the Chiefs.

“Larry Johnson is a member of the Kansas City Chiefs under contract with the Kansas City Chiefs,” Moore said in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday night. “Nothing said about this matter has changed that fact in any way.”

Johnson could not be reached for comment through his agent because he doesn’t have one.

During the past season, Johnson was benched for three games for violating team rules and suspended by the league for a fourth game for violating NFL player conduct rules. He also faces a March trial date on charges that he pushed one woman at a bar and of spitting drinks at another woman.
