He'll be at the game. 13 years on the team, and I think he's being good about how happy he is for this team...but it's gotta be killing him that he won't be suited up...He said he'll be coaching the defense from his seat, though he's sure it'll be too loud to make a difference.
I really love this guy. I couldn't hear the whole thing as I'm at work, but I admit, I feel kinda bad for DJ. Friggin' warrior for this team, and I hope if we win that they let him down on the field, because he's a true Chief. [Reply]

He was part. If the 32 Defense, actually the leader of the 32 defense. Just not interested in holding on to the past when we have buried the curse of Marty and are starting a new NFL level era of chiefs football.
Thanks for the few memories. But it’s all about the future now. [Reply]
He's probably now kicking himself for turning the coaching job down, but I hope he'l be here in some capacity next year. As far as him feeling like he could still play...that's probably not uncommon for guys like him who love the game and just don't know when to quit. I'm sure he's been taught a lesson. He could have been here as a coach...hopefully he'll be here next year in some capacity. [Reply]
He's been on some really good teams and some reeeeaaaalllly bad teams too. Suffered through 5 head coaches, countless defensive coordinators, and one mediocre-to-horrible QB after another.
If any player deserved the Johnny Gomes treatment, it's DJ. Seriously, cut Zombo and have DJ stand on the sideline. [Reply]
he really should have taken the coaching job. not only did he miss out on this experience, he now has Raiders stink on him. Still love DJ and I'm sure he'll be back with the franchise soon, but why even have that tarnish on your name? [Reply]

Can DJ contribute on special teams in anyway at all. Cause Zombo does.... [Reply]

Put O'Daniel on IR if he's not coming back and then re-sign DJ. Imagine that meeting room when DJ walks through the door to take a seat with the rest of the team. [Reply]
It is truly unfortunate that he isn't in his prime today. Can you imagine a Prime DJ in todays game? Christ, we've played what, 1 power team all year? He'd be so good in the league today. [Reply]
