Johnson is starting to look like the sleeper to make the roster that nobody predicted.  He has a perfect build to be a Tackle, wiith huge hands and 35 inch arms, and has been getting some looks there this year. He had a 30"  vertical at the combine and had one of the best long jumps for OL in 2015, suggesting that there is some athleticism and power in his lower body.    Cutting Bisnowaty and Clausell could signal that the Panthers intend to use Johnson as a reserve G/T.

If anyone can help Johnson understand the nuances between G and T it is new assistant coach Travelle Wharton.   Reading the article linked above, it seems that Johnson needed physical and mental discipline.  A four year starter at Pitt, it occurs to me that maybe things cane to easy for him, causing him to get by without refining technique or working hard in a competitive situation.  There is a hint in the air that the Panthers think they may have found some treasure in Arizona's dumpster--we shall see later today.

Great find! I am glad Wharton is here to help players with multi position potential. He was one of the best when he was in the league.

Wharton was a great player for us.  He filled many roles with us and rarely failed to perform.  Not sure about center but I believe he filled every other position on our offensive line at one time or another. 

I was sad to see him go to Cincinnati and suffered pretty much a career ending injury.

  DJohnson was one of the most under the radar signings when they picked him up. I was hopeful that they would consider him in the LG competition. I would be surprised if they use him as the primary T cover considering his lack of experience and usage. But they obviously decided Clausell and Bisnowaty had showed all they were capable of. It does seem a little risky though....

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
