C Al Johnson

[Perfect72]

Anyone know the deal on if the Phins are planning to keep Al Johnson?

I haven't heard much; but I thought he was well thought of by the Trifecta?

Short answer is, either he never really came back from the injury or they think they can get better in FA or the draft?

Al Johnson
Position: G/C
Height/Weight: 6-5, 305
Born: 1/27/79
College: Wisconsin
NFL: 6th Season27 Feb 2009: Declared a free agent. Johnson was signed last fall to fill in for a depleted offensive line. He was a former starter at center for Parcells and Sparano in Dallas in 2004 and 2005, but was beaten out for the starting job in 2006. In 2007, he started at center for the Cardinals but was injured and placed on the Cardinals' reserve list at the beginning of 2008, before being cut. He did get some playing time at the end of 2008, but apparently did not do enough to warrant re-signing before free agency began.

I was wondering that too, last time I heard Sparano was really high on him.

i would assume no after the grove signing

 

[derricknjess]

he was released after the season and is a free agent now
he only signed a one year contract last year and we never resigned him
i also didnt know this as well because you never heard his name all you heard at the time was crowder carey and bell
but he is definetly a goner

Well we have Satele, Johnson, Grove, Smiley, Thomas, Ndukwe, Johnson, and Murphy in the middle. At least 2 of those guys will be cut, and I'm guessing Murphy and Johnson. Looks like Johnson has already been let go

He is a FA. Long gone if you ask me.
