From the outside looking in, it looks as if Derrick Johnson’s professional football career is coming to a close. After 13 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, the team announced today that they were parting ways with the franchise’s all-time leader in tackles. However, if you ask Johnson, he has plenty more football left in him.
Instead of suiting up for a 14th year at Arrowhead, Johnson will instead be looking for meaningful work once free agency begins in mid-March. It will be a surprise to look in the heart of the Chiefs defense and not see No.
