    Why haven't we looked at Eric Johnson?

    This guy has had injury problems, in fact many. But IMO, he's a guy worth the risk. He's a fantastic pass catching TE; as evidenced by his 82 catches for 825 yds with SF in 2004. Even last year with the Saints, he had 48 catches for 378 in 14 games.

    Keep that bum Royal to block and use this guy in more passing situations. I think he'd be a perfect target for a guy like Edwards.

    Find it hard to believe that Teyo Johnson and Maybe Anderson are going to be the only additions.

    Couldnt agree more, and i thought we would have brought him in already instead of Troupe, i say cut ROyal he is not worth what we r payin him, at all, and if we sign Johnson, and draft a TE, i think Schouman would be fine as a 3rd string TE and slash hback out of the backfeild, Royal was one of Marvs many FA mistakes and needs to go

        Johnson doesn't suck...but why hasn't really anyone looked at him?

        I haven't heard any news on him at all.

          A one-year wonder, but that one year makes him probably the best of a weak crop. Will be just 29 in September.

            one year wonder who gets hurt and who doesnt provide a down the field threat.

              Possession guys are just as important as downfield threats.

              He's a TE, not a sprinter speed WR. Those guys are supposed to be the downfield threat and open the middle of the field for TEs and possession receivers.

              Not many TEs are downfield threats in this league and even the good to great TEs in this league do the majority of their "damage" in the middle of the field within 10-15 yards of the LOS.

                If Buffalo can't sign a veteran TE with the ability to stretch the middle of the field, I wouldn't mind a TE who is a reliable pass catcher in the short zone, if they also draft a TE with more speed.
                I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                    Because he's a horrible, washed up TE who can't stay healthy.
