Both of those links refer to the same source. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10135604-2024-nfl-trade-block-big-board-entering-week-3

 

It's not a rumor, it's a suggestion as stated here:

"Still, the 28-year-old will be a free agent next offseason and could be a valuable trade chip if Carolina continues to flounder.

Receiver-needy teams could use Johnson, who caught 51 passes for 717 yards and five touchdowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers' No. 2 receiver last year. "

They call it a rumor in the headlines, but I was careful to frame it as weak or speculative.  The headline does not call it a suggestion, but that is what it seems to be.  I guess rumors are repeated suggestions or opinions with a supported premise based on facts, data, or logic.

Said it the other day, there is zero reason to keep him at this point

We're not signing him to an extension, he was brought in for someone we were cutting anyways, to give Bryce a better option on the outside, but Bryce sucks anyways and now is on the bench.

If we can get anything for him, we'd be stupid to keep him, we need draft assets, not rental players for the rest of a lost season.

And in reality, I'm also trading Thielen to a contender who could use his sure hands and route running, as again, we need assets and he's not part of our future anyways.

DJ has best WR in the league potential...  reminds me a little of prime AB or Diggs at his peak.  If we've learned nothing else over the last few years is - once you have an asset, you should do everything you can to keep them, because the return is often never going to get you your value back.  We also have a horrible habit of selling low.

I hope this isn't being considered.  Andy is gonna get him the ball.

I agree, lets see if he can preform if so offer him a contract.

I hope he does well because he is cool. Real easy to like. 

But very hard to understand. If there weren’t subtitles I wouldn’t understand 66.6% of what he’s saying. Not that that’s a bad thing. Seems like a good, down to earth dude who will do just fine when he’s playing days are done.

Xavier is getting plenty of play with Johnson on the team. You keep a guy like Johnson on the team because you will have another rookie next year. 

We've missed out on building a solid roster for so many years we're completely lost on what's in our best interest. Keep a very very good WR while we develop Mingo and XL. We need good players to mentor the younger players help them adjust learning and grow with help instead of having to figure it out on their own

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      He's going way overboard. I mean, men talk this way all the time. Bryce seems like a fine young man. But he's been piss poor at his job. I wish that I could be piss poor at mine---wait, no I don't---and get paid millions.  The thing is, I've supported Bryce in the past, but he doesn't seem to be the type of QB that what I've heard Chris Canty refer to as a "force multiplier." He can't make good players great, he needs great players to make him good. He's not going to pull out a win when times get tough (at least he hasn't), but he becomes good when there is essentially nothing to play for. After trying to give Bryce the benefit of the doubt, and waiting for the light switch to stay on, I'm tired of waiting. I've seen what I need to see, and it ain't pretty. So excuse me for calling Bryce, "pussified" for not being more aggressive in his pursuit of down field plays. He appears to just not have it in him. I'm sorry, Bryce and all Bryce Stans. He's still got to go though.

      Yeah me too. We should have taken him. He was a much better bet than most of what you find that far down. He might have been 5 stars coming out of high school, I don’t know. Just that he was highly thought of. His college career didn’t get off to a great start and he ended up on a bad team with bad protection. But you could watch him and see what he had. I don’t see a way he doesn’t have a long career as a #2, at worst.
