The Facts:
The Chiefs quickly dispelled rumors they are shopping Johnson before this weekend's NFL draft. Team spokesman Bob Moore said Thursday the Chiefs have not offered Johnson to anybody and that no team has been given permission to speak with him. "Anybody who is reporting it's true is simply not telling the truth," Moore said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Rumors that Kansas City wants to trade Johnson surfaced as the team scrambles to acquire draft picks. The Kansas City Star, without citing a source, reported Thursday that the team had offered Johnson up for trade. The Chiefs also invited four high-end incoming RBs for interviews and have said they are willing to draft a running back in the early rounds. ... Meanwhile, Johnson is entering the final year of his contract and has made it clear he wants a deal worth more than the eight-year, $60 million contract LaDainian Tomlinson signed two years ago. Seems like it would be tough to move Johnson given what we know about his desired contract, but we'll continue to watch for more.
