Stevie Johnson - WR - Bills
ESPN.com's Mike Rodak considers Stevie Johnson's roster spot in jeopardy.
Coming off an injury-riddled 2013, Johnson is set to count $8.5 million against the cap. He's a candidate to be released following Buffalo's trade for Mike Williams, with second-year receivers Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin both capable of taking on expanded roles. Because releasing Johnson carries $8.475 million in dead money, he could be asked to restructure. If the Bills ultimately decide to move on from Johnson, they would free up just $25,000 in cap space.

27 years old..would replace Hartlin, Gibson, etc in a second.

Injury-prone, very inconsistent, and a dumbass, imo.

Why, oh God why would we bring this guy in?

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

he's a dip#!@#, but if his asking price isn't too high, I'd be fine with him in Miami. Even though Gibson and Hartline should be ready for TC, doesn't mean they will be.

I wouldn't be opposed to Johnson. 3k yards and 28 tds...

Because he's a really awesome receiver, a 27 year old pro's pro who is a baller and produces.

Extremely talented dude. If he had a QB at any point in his career he'd be all-pro pretty regularly, imo.

He's only 27.. And he's a very good receiver..no red flags...injured last couple seasons but who isn't..he will restructure that's not what we would have to pay him..look Hartline is comin off an injury that's saddling him for most of the offseason, that's not good for this dude, this guy needs to be getting stronger, and he's not..stevie Johnson is an upgrade at the #2, that's the bottom line and Hickeys job description.

I don't get it? There's no chance in hell he gets cut...the article even states it. 8.475 in dead money, saving them only 25k. No way.

He absolutely is. Being in WNY I'm subjected to watching a lot of Bills games and he's dropped many a critical and/or game winning pass. Happens every season and you can ask any Bills fan. If you thought Chambers was bad then this guy will blow your mind.

Dumbass bc of him writing dumb **** on his shirts and getting flags for attention seeking behavior. Blaming god for losses lol (after he dropped a game winning td none the less). **** like that.

He's a baller! I'd jump on him in a heartbeat - love his competitiveness.

But, as Citizen said, I can't see how he gets cut just to save $25K.

Every game of every sport players thank god for wins. If you believe God chooses winners, then you also implicitly believe that he chooses losers. That was the most honest reaction to a sports outcome I have ever seen.

Rather than the usual whitewashing, he took his faith to its logical conclusion rather than exhibit confirmation bias by accepting successes of God and rejecting failures as 'the devil' or something else stupid that directly challenges his faiths omnipotence doctrine.

I wish more religious people actually thought that way. I could hold a lot more reasonable conversations about religion that way.

You think someone dropping a game winning td and then blaming God is an honest reaction? :lol:

Sounded pathetic and childish to me but whatever.

Seemed like an easy choice for a scapegoat for dropping another huge pass.

I'd be excited as hell if Stevie Johnson got cut and we signed him. He'd instantly be our best all around receiver.

He'd mainly replace Gibson, Matthews in the slot.

He's better than Matthews right now, but I doubt he'd want to come in for that role, and I woudn't trust him as anthing more. I like our top three A LOT more than I like him.

Is Johnson inconsistent? Absolutely. He can disappear in games faster than Ted Ginn, but when he does show up he can light you up. Very quick, dynamic player with the ball in his hands, and IIRC he has hurt us a few times in the past.

He shouldn't be the number 1 guy, but as a 2 or 3 he is in his element and would likely succeed in this offense, especially with players like Clay and Wallace to help open things up for him.

The caveat to all of this is, is that we need to be very careful to not push Rishard Matthews down. Truthfully, we need to get this kid more playing time. He seems like he has made some nice strides in the last two years and should be more of a force this year and really should be hovering around the 35-45 reception area this year.
