Derrick Johnson will be available

How would you guys feel about bringing in Derrick Johnson and letting him and Davis split reps at OLB next season? I actually wanted him in the 2005 draft over Davis at the time, but both have had stellar careers, would be nice to see them playing together.

Haven’t really kept up with his career lately, is he still producing? Wonder what kind of money he’s looking for.

fwiw he was top 5 ILB on PFF this year.

 

Doesn't really make any sense for us though...

I mean I'm sure he would come cheap, and cheap depth can't hurt. We're a Shaq Thompson injury away from Davis having to take all reps. 

Not cheap enough to make any sense for us. If we really want to improve LB depth, draft someone in mid-late rounds.

    • We aren't ignoring it. We also aren't ignoring the Dallas game, the start of this year, or all of last last year. He won himself a spot on the roster next year and being the presumptive QB1 going into camp. That counts for a lot given where he was.
    • I couldn't watch that game specifically and my take is more in general of course - any team can beat any other on any given Sunday in the NFL. The Chiefs are not juggernauts this year by any means and I'd be shocked if they go too deep in the playoffs, but that is kind of my point; Carolina kicked 4 field goals of 33 yards or less that day. Gotta have TDs against the best to win and even 1 TD instead of a field goal wins that game. Is that all on Bryce? No, and no game comes down to a single play (e.g. the Eagles drop, Chuba's OT fumble, etc). MY point is that I'm not seeing anything yet that projects him above that Bridgewater/Smith level and these game outcomes are exactly in line with that performance trajectory. 
    • Happy to see Bryce get better--until we have a top 10 QB, however, you keep shopping.  He has until we find someone better to prove himself. If he lessens the need, he extends his longevity.  That is how it is for all NFL players.
