According to Voth on BBR, Johnson wants to test the market first and would be willing to return. So he is looking for more money then D.G was willing to fork over. The man has made MILLONS of dollars from this club and was unwilling to return for the money offered. How many of you would want him back if he decides to take the Gettie figure after testing the market? Or would you rather move on from him and start anew, regardless if he would return?

I don't blame him one bit for testing the market. He hasn't performed up to his pay level here but he will almost certainly get a bigger pay day elsewhere.  Pass rushers usually get overpaid in free agency. 

 

I'd have no problem with him coming back. He is a very good 4-3 end when healthy and also had five sacks in our last two postseasons (one per game average)

First of all, the majority here would take money over the other option, so i don't get the double standard.

I don't blame him wanting to find out his value. 

Stop acting scorned.

The thing I don't get is, we are talking a few millions difference after he's made what 35-50 over the course of his career? At this point, my highest priority would be getting a ring.

Scorned?  I don't give a shat either way if he comes back or not....just relating what was said on BBR.

He's obviously damaged goods or else we'd be sitting pretty with having our good old, guaranteed, 10-sack per season Big Money rolling strong on the field.

you can't tell me that we'd let go of a perrinial pro-bowler at a position as crucial to our success as is our DEs.

Its obviously more than just money as to the reasons he got cut.

Now it becomes a numbers game.  Is it worth a couple million extra to him to leave his team? Say Atlanta, or Jax, or whoever with space offers him 8 a year, and the Panthers are offering 5-6...why leave?  Me thinks he might be back unless some team goes stupid.

His nickname is Big Money...he is going where the cash is.

Good question, Jmac.  I think you have to look forward and not in the past when talking contract.  Hurney used contracts to reward past performance, when only future potential is important.  This was most evident in the Jake Delhomme contract, after Tommy John surgery.  Nobody would have paid half what MH paid him.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
