The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a settlement with Larry Johnson
and agreed Monday to withhold only one week's pay for making gay slurs
instead of two.
The settlement saved the two-time
Pro Bowl running back about $315,000. His agent, Peter Schaffer, had
threatened to take the matter to arbitration.
The
Chiefs refused any comment other than to say they had finalized the
settlement. Schaffer told the AP on Saturday night the agreement had
been reached and needed only to be signed.
Originally,
the Chiefs suspended Johnson for two weeks until Nov. 9, including this
week's game at Jacksonville. He would have lost about $630,000 if the
Chiefs had not backed down and then won the appeal.
