Had bad season this passed year and can come a lot cheaper if hes released, can work in a high reward low risk if he can sign a cheap deal with any team.

Worth a look if he's cut. It's doubtful though.

They owe him 7m guaranteed, why would they pay him and then cut him?

No problem, I really didn't see why they would do that. But his production has fallen off and they would still save another 7m if they waived him. They are on the hook for the first 16m, but they may just view that as a sunk cost.

7m a year seems in line with what the team hopes to pay for DL help so he may be a candidate.

Why would you want him?

We need pass rushers he's young and if is released don't see why we wouldn't be interested.

But here’s the problem for Tampa. With $9 million already paid in 2014, the Bucs already owe Johnson another $7 million that is fully guaranteed, with no offset language. So they’ll have to ask themselves whether they’re willing to let Johnson walk away with $16 million for one year — or whether they want to push the arrangement to $23 million over two.

There is your answer.
