This from Jeremy Fowler...

Have also seen it reported that Johnson has told the Lions he's not coming back.

Chance to cement your legacy as a GM by building a team around a great young qb, or go to a team that doesn't appear to have much of a shot of getting a qb this year.  I know what my choice would be.

This seems very manufactured, IMO. 

I wonder if I can bet on Johnson not going to LV in a sports book?

I think you are right, but I have seen crazier stuff in the NFL.  

The thing is that there don't appear to be any real insiders for Johnson saying this stuff. All this info is coming from Raiders sources, which says a LOT IMO.

He's the assistant GM there though, he won't ever have any kind of legacy there.

GM jobs are much tougher to get in the NFL than HC's, as it's rare for a GM to be fired but not the HC, while a lot of GM's end up being given multiple chances at hiring HC's.

If you have a chance at a GM job, you go for it.

Nonsense. We change our GM every 2-3 years.

and we've changed our HC every 1-2 years during that time frame too lol.

Bottom line is GM jobs open up less than HC jobs and there are far more potential candidates for a GM job too.  If a team is looking at you for theirs, you don't pass it up, you go for the job.

It makes no sense for Johnson to have left the Redskins at the altar only to work for Mark Davis.

Mark Davis has my vote for owner with best/worst haircut in the NFL. He has him something like a 19 year old girlfriend (which I approve!) and the Julius Caesar Russel Crowe from Gladiator late 90's/early 2000's haircut. He inherited a million dollar franchise from dad and sports that haircut on a daily basis while walking around with his little dime piece. Johnson may be inclined to learn the arts of seduction and stylish haircuts a quarter of a century too late from the master himself.

We know Johnson is picky and has avoided scenarios with bad ownership(including ours). That's why the Las Vegas rumors see to lack any real credibility. Not to mention its just an okay roster but with absolutely zero QB nor any real obvious chance to get one aside from straight tanking in 2025.

Fowler is legit.

If you had asked me prior to yesterday, I'd have said I think he's going back. All indications now though or that he will take one of the available jobs. 

If it's true that he doesn't want to face Dan Campbell twice a year, then the Jaguars seem like the most logical choice but who knows?

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
