Better question to ask would be is he actually interested in staying. 

[Johnstonny]

Lets contemplate keeping someone that can actually catch the ball and get open.... nah morgan and dipper aint interested in that....

[CamWhoaaCam]

Trade Johnson and this offense is unwatchable.

 

 

For goodness sakes sign the man already. His name is a hot name in trade rumors because he actually has talent. Keep him you morons!

If you cheap then enjoy Mingo being your #2 WR. Let's see how that works out.

 

 

Fools!

Sounds like a different way of saying if the offer is enough we'll listen.

If they are gonna play Young may as well trade him. 

But otherwise it is exactly what to say if you want the best price.

Hey Chiefs, give us Mahomes and Johnson is all yours. AND... we will even throw in Bryce for free

Johnson is a legit number 1 WR and we need to lock him down.  He's performing and this is with average QB play.  Legette has potential to be a number 1,  but he's still pretty raw and needs some time to develop.  

[Waldo]

We would have to overpay to keep him. He was always a rental. I would guess he is already looking forward to his free agency payday.

His base pay is 7 mil this year was a weird flex for a guy on his last year of his deal.

Anyone on this team is on the trading block for the right price imo. The hard reality is that even with a good o-line, veteran QB, and decent weapons we're still the worst team in the NFL. That's when you know it's over for the next couple of seasons, so ANY advantageous trade should be taken imo. Now Morgan and Canales are fighting for their jobs, so they'll want to hang on to productive players and may pass on a sweet deal. Like Fitt passed on two first round picks for Burns because he had a win now gotta' save my job mentality. Drop a Steph Curry QB into place and we're winning. It was a fantasy. We need reality. I want a GM like Gettleman but with actual draft evaluation abilities.

I would be trying like hell to resign him right now, but I bet his camp is wanting him to hit the open market this offseason. If he isn't going to re-sign no matter what we offer then it makes sense to trade him but the compensation is going to be bad 

[RJK]

You can’t resign him and you’re not playing for anything. Why keep him around?

Because I think they hope to actually resign him and I think it kind of makes sense for him as well.  He wants to be the undisputed alpha in the receiver room, and here in carolina its pretty obvious we'll give him that reign, many other places, hes splitting the role with other alpha type personalities.  Unlike hubbard, he is playing a position that does get highly paid in the NFL, so IMO, we lock him up this offseason and chuba walks (or my preference is we trade him to dallas or another RB needy team).

[strato]

Well yeah, a big selling point should be a chance at being the number one for an NFL team. Which, technically, they are. 

 Maybe a short term thing that he can leverage into an overpay somewhere else as the #one if he kills it here.
