  • Tank Johnson?

    Find all the latest Rotoworld fantasy sports news, live coverage, videos, highlights, stats, predictions, and results right here on NBC Sports.


    ESPN's Ed Werder confirms that impending free agent NT Tank Johnson will not be retained by the Cowboys this offseason.

    This was reported two days ago in the Dallas Morning News. Tank kept his nose clean with Dallas and likely has a better chance of finding a team in 2009 than Adam Jones. Johnson could help a team running a 4-3 defense.
    He's only 27 and would be a major upgrade at the DT position... We wouldn't have to address it with our 1st round overall and could get more pressing needs (DE/OL)

    Thoughts?

    No, no, 1000 times no.

    As far as I know, he's not a 3-4 nose, and thats probably why they're letting him walk. Why did they let Ferguson go? Isn't he lights out as a nose?

      He would be decent in a 4-3.

      Take a shot at him
      I am better looking than you.

          Who said we are going to 3-4... 4-3 is the most likely formation we are going into next year, and Tank Johnson is very effective at DT in the 4-3 scheme (see Bears)...

            No kidding, he'll shoot back.

            Maybe JJ actually learned a lesson this year about the ramifications of bringing in every headcase and problem child in the league, and Jones and Johnson are the beginning a purge?





            :P :P

            Man, I almost fell for that one myself. I crack me up. He's probably just clearing cap room for Micheal Vick.

              It's not often a player of his caliber comes along.
              [QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.

                I wonder how many other teams will be gunning for him, that might drive up the price.

                  Thompsons likely to be rifling through the FA DL prospects anyways. Maybe he could do a bang up job?

                    Its always a crap shoot with a guy like him.

                            You think TT will pull the trigger on this deal?

                              If I'm TT I would take the shotgun approach to revamping the defense: sign Tank Johnson, Odell Thurman, Pacman Jones and Dwight Smith, and hope you hit the target with one of them.
