Michael Johnson not expected back - Shake n Blake - 03-23-2019
I get that it's not shocking news, but still interesting. He had a good (albeit overpaid at times) run.

I wonder if Zimmer or the Raiders will go after him?

Guy was a class act and solid citizen. Played some good football here too at times, but, it is time to move on.

Underrated player while he was here. He is in my made up Bengal ring of honor.

Had a great interception against Miami last year.

Lol. No

We might not have added anyone exciting, but the players people were clamoring to get rid of the most are all gone (Burfict, Johnson, Og).
Now we just need to cut Nickerson.

One of my all time favs.

His dad never found us over here.
Purged with the Mothership board.

So long, MJ. Thanks for the memories.

talk about a class act. role model.for others. outstanding character. opposite of Adam Jones.
turned out to be a better run stopper than edge rusher in his career.
good mentor for Sam Hubbard.
his leadership will be missed
RE: Michael Johnson not expected back - TheLeonardLeap - 03-24-2019
Always seemed like a great person, and was at times a good player. He was ultimately overpaid and probably kept at least a year too long.
I think his career would have been a better one if he hadn't gotten jerked around so much in the beginning by Marvin, swapping back and forth between LB and DE all the way until a DE injury forced him into full-time DE in his third season despite not having prepared for it in the offseason.

MJ and Geno's reaction to Pacman shoving Porter, and bumping the ref at the end of the playoff meltdown was priceless.
Always liked MJ. I think some of us forget how good he was from 2011-2013. He just didn't seem the same once he came back from Tampa Bay.
RE: Michael Johnson not expected back - GodFather - 03-24-2019
He had that one great year before leaving for TB only to return the following year. I thought his character was better than him as a player in his overall career.

I forgot about his dad's posts. I always enjoyed that. Too bad. I also liked Bengal Sis, who was always making a case for her brother, Shane Graham.

Yeah, if you remember, when Carlos got his 1st big contract, they tried to sign MJ first... I hope Zim picks him up, he is a total class act and represented himself, the organization and the city very well....

My exact thoughts. The guy had talent. Some was wasted early in his career. Overpaid and kept too long.

When MJ got waived by the Bucs...he visited us and Minnesotta. Zimmer DID NOT want him to get back on the plane.
That said, he's kind of underperformed from a pass rushing perspective here in his 2nd stint.

Johnson was a steady player here. Teams need lunch pail guys like MJ to succeed. While he did not put up big sack numbers, he also was not the weakness of the defense.
