The Larry Johnson saga is over.

The star running back Johnson has agreed in principle to a new six-year deal with Kansas City, and is expected to rejoin his team on Tuesday, FOXSports.com has learned.

While his teammates were holding two-a-days in River Falls, Wisconin, Johnson spent training camp working out at Athletes Performance Institute in Tempe, Arizona. Financial terms of the deal were not yet available, but it is expected that Johnson will be one of the three highest-paid running backs in the NFL, along with San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson and Seattle's Shaun Alexander.

LJ ends holdout, joins Chiefs at practice
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star

Running back Larry Johnson agreed to a contract extension with the Chiefs this morning. Johnson signed a five-year extension, which locks him up with the Chiefs through the 2012 season — the extension plus the year remaining on his old contract.

Johnson will make $45 million over the next six years.

As for Johnson’s five-year extension, he will earn $43.2 million, making him the highest-paid running back in the NFL based on average salary per year. Johnson is guaranteed $19 million and will make $27.7 million over the first three years of the extension.

Johnson ended a nearly monthlong holdout and joined the Chiefs during the middle of their practice session. Johnson wasn’t just watching practice, either. He took carries with the starting unit, and was pass-blocking during live work.

He definitely deserves it.
