Johnson is actually visiting Sunday (along with Troupe, presumably, if he's not signed by Tampa Bay before his scheduled arrival).

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/03/01/bc.fbn.bills.stroud.ap/index.html

"Free-agent receiver Bryant Johnson (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/players/6353) and tight end Ben Troupe (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/nfl/players/6799) are both scheduled to visit with the Bills on Sunday, according to their agent, Joel Segal."

ha.

Seriously I wouldn't worry about it just yet. He may have another visit or two lined up. We have to expect these guys to explore their options, and we have to hope our FO knows how to make the right offer.

If the dick wants a wr in FA, Bryant is the best of who's left so he'd best not **** around and sign this lad.

FYI Tyke Tolbert was Johnson's position coach his rookie year in Arizona and Troupe's position coach in Florida. It should prove interesting to see if there's a reunion.

they got here today but probably arnt really visiting till tomorrow. everyone was probably busy finishing up the stroud deal. i think that we need troupe more than johnson, johnson would be a hell of a signing but he will want the 25-30 million contract like jerry porter. if we get troupe and then sign a lesser WR we can still get on in the first round, theres no way they pay johnson 25-30 million and keep lee evens and draft a WR high. unless lee evens is on his way out.

I want both... Especially Bryant Johnson. But last I heard, we're still talking to Detroit about Roy Williams.

It's a good day to be a Bills fan!

He's in town. Maybe. A deal is imminent. No wait, he left. But he's still here. The deal is dead. He's signed! Maybe.

I'm hoping that Yahoo Sports reports that he left Buffalo disgruntled and without a deal. That would make this a guarantee that he signs here. :snicker:
