Giving a contract extension to a 32-year old linebacker may make you pause for a minute. Until you realize I'm talking about Derrick Johnson and the Kansas City Chiefs. Then it sounds a little more appealing.
DJ enters the final year of his contract and it's a unique one as he is also coming off an Achilles injury. Despite missing some time in OTAs, DJ is said to be healthy.
So will the Chiefs sign him to a contract extension?
I think they should but not just yet. The Chiefs should consider an in-season extension for DJ once he proves that he's back to his old self (or at least 90 percent of his old self, which is still a damn good linebacker).
