KC_FIFTY_EIGHT

I don't like NFL agents for the most part, especially the ones that are in the same mold as Drew Rosenhaus, but Derrick Johnson's agent doesn't seem too bad (yet).
The Chiefs have been involved in talks with Derrick Johnson’s representatives for about a month, his agent, Vann McElroy, said Monday. Johnson, an All-America linebacker from Texas, should figure heavily into the Chiefs’ defensive plans this fall and has said he wants to be in River Falls, Wis., on time.
“That is our whole intention here,” McElroy said. “I think the team, the NFL, so to speak, puts that on the player and the agent, that the player needs to be on time. (But) they’re part of that equation, and it has to work both ways. I believe in working with teams. I also believe the team needs to work with the player, too.”

Hopefully DJ does indeed get to TC on-time. KC 1st rnd picks have a tendancy to get signed late, unfortunately. IMO rookies who show up late often get hurt more than those who show up on time, and end up missing some regular season games.
