Anything new on the Bryant Johnson front?

[Buffalogic]

Has anyone heard any new info? He should be in Buffalo as we speak, right?

Nothing yet, but I'm betting that there will be a press conference tomorrow to announce that he is a Buffalo Bill.

I sure and the **** hope so. There weren't many highlights that I saw of him last year but in 06 there were quite a few. I think he would be a great addition overall.

Re: Anything new on the Bryant Johnson front?

its hard to say exactly whats going on- i just checked http://www.buffalorumblings.com/ and theres been reports out of tampa this morning that he is in tampa today and not visiting buffalo until monday- but now then theres also a report he is in buffalo. Looks like the only thing we can do is wait and see...

Update [2008-3-2 12:29:29 by Brian Galliford]: Is it just me, or is the AP on a roll with inaccurate reports lately? First they mess up the Stroud deal, then they falsely report that Jason Taylor is on his way out of Miami, and now they've apparently gotten this story wrong too. Per Rotoworld, the only visiting free agent in Buffalo today is Falcons FB Corey McIntyre, a restricted free agent with special teams potential. The Bills are waiting for Troupe to finish up a visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Bryant Johnson is not reportedly coming in until Monday. Rotoworld reports this via the Buffalo News. End Update



As of right now, I think this is the most updated turn of events regarding Bryant Johnson and Ben Troupe....
ESPN is reporting that Johnson IS in Buffalo and working on contract negotiations.
Also, from the Tampa Tribute Bucs blog:
Troupe leaves Tampa without contract
A few things to note: Johnson:
The Bills are also meeting today with wide receiver Bryant Johnson. The Bucs, who saw target Devery Henderson re-sign with the Saints late Saturday, have expressed interest in Johnson but he may never make it out of Buffalo.

I read today that he hasn't come to Buffalo yet. He's not scheduled to come until Monday. I doubt we'll hear anything new until tomorrow afternoon.

and the ESPN report is the one I am more likely to believe. They were the ones that said that the Bills were hammering out a trade for Marcus Stroud on Friday night. They NEVER reported that the trade was dead or that he left Buffalo.

Apparently John Clayton's opinion is that if he gets to Buffalo, he isn't leaving without a contract. Take it for what it's worth.

I'm thinking the same thing. With our receiver coach being the one who drafted him, I have no doubt that if he comes here, he will sign a contract to be our #2. He would be a great fit too.

Good point.

Always helps when there is prior connections to our current staff.

Arizona free-agent wide receiver Bryant Johnson is traveling to Buffalo today for a visit with the Bills.
-- Adam Schefter

Johnson started eight games for the Cardinals in 2007, and had 46 receptions for 528 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Johnson has been buried on the Cardinals depth chart below starting receivers Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald. The Cardinals have indicated that Cardinals are committed to Fitzgerald despite having such a huge salary cap number ($16 million).
