Johnson is 30, so you're not getting a spring chicken but he's a damn good WR. His market value per SportTrac is 10m/yr. If you can get him on a 3yr/30-35m deal go for it. 

If Adams is going for a Day 2 pick, Johnson's value is Day 3. Chances are Thielen will be a cap cut this season, so Johnson will be a good veteran in the room with Legette, Coker, and whoever else.

Someone earlier said that if we can't resign him and he walks, we get a comp pick.  If true (and I am not sure how that works), then we should keep him around till the end of the year if anyone offers only a 4th.  

The comp pick is dependent on how many FA you sign and their contract value. You cannot count on that unless you play for it and not sign anyone other than scrubs with cheap contracts. Even then it counts against you as it may turn into a 7th round pick or none at all.

Someone said he was making 20 million or so now. Maybe he isn't costing us that due to a prorated signing bonus like we are dealing with, with Bryce Young? Where we are on the hook for all of Bryce's signing bonus if we move him.

Johnson just turned 28 this past July so he has plenty of gas left in the tank.

Why do you guys always try to add extra years on these WRs?

 

He's 28 bro

I don't see why not. This team is going nowhere. I would say to look for them to be playing backups soon but that's what they've done all season so far so that won't change. Maybe after they pull Bryce once again you might see Plummer a few games.

IF we can sign DJ for $10 million a year then I'm down.  He is a good WR2 and gives us a weapon that doesn't need any developing.

If at all avoidable, that should no way be the plan.

He needs to get out there and take a hit and learn to trust his repair at least. You don't want to wait a whole offseason and then have some kind of setback. 

It'll be like that micro fracture poo with Foster... (that was Foster right?)

edit: So they are probably in trade talks for Diontae it looks like.

When did I call him old? I said he wasn't a spring chicken meaning he isn't Jalen Coker's age. This is his 6th season in the NFL and next year (first under a new contract) would be his 7th.

You have to be trolling right now.

 

First you lied about his age by calling him 30.

 

Second he's still in his prime. This dude isn't slowing down anytime soon.

 

What point are you making sir?

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
