Brad Johnson: I was not the snitch

Brad Johnson called to adamantly deny the connecting-the-dots theory that he was the infamous Valley Ranch snitch.

Johnson didn't deny that he discussed the T.O./Tony Romo situation with the NFL Network's Warren Sapp, who won a Super Bowl with Johnson as Buccaneers and referenced a conversation with the quarterback during footage of a Ravens-Cowboys production meeting that aired this week.

However, Johnson said he never took sides in the drama and firmly denied that he was a source for ESPN reporter Ed Werder's story about T.O. being jealous of Jason Witten.

"I don't know who was Ed Werder's snitch," said Johnson, a 17-year veteran who was released this off-season. "I don't know. I never asked. There were a lot of things said, and I stayed out of the whole deal."

Johnson said that there was a lot of "miscommunication" in the Cowboys' locker room after the pass-triangle story blew up, but he didn't believe that contributed to the Cowboys' poor finish. He insisted that he did nothing to contribute to the drama.

"I'm telling you that wasn't me," said Johnson, who thought that T.O. and Romo were both right about certain things. "I was not the guy who talked to Ed Werder. I have no clue who said this.

"I don't know who the snitch was. I know it wasn't me."

Here's my problem with Brad.

You just admitted you were gabbing with Sapp about 'in house' stuff with the Cowboys.

So even if you didn't go to Werder I still think he's a fool.

And I don't want to hear anyone giving Johnson a pass on this because Sapp is an old friend either because Sapp, and Johnson damn well knew this, has a big fat mouth and he's now part of the 'evil media' that was supposedly out to get the team last season.

All we ever heard about Johnson was that he's a team leader, a solid guy and that he was a very smart QB.

Well then why didn't 'Mr. Smart QB' know that he should have just kept it vanilla with Sapp when he spoke to him?

In one way I am glad Johnson is gone. But I am not too happy that 'The Rat' may still be in the locker room.

Maybe so, Werder did say that the informant was someone that worked with/around the players.

Interesting denial. "I admit I talked, but I'm not guilty."

And that's the good guy we all heard about?

He's blabbing to Sapp of all people?

I know it's a beaten story and all of that.

But I just hope we don't have any similar ones in 2009.

I hope all of the 'talkers' and 'complainers' and 'iFirst' guys are gone now.

They are gone.

They are gone.

I don't know man I think Bobby is/was the snitch.

 

[bbgun]

Was his code name "Deep Throat" or "Can't Throw Deep"?

 

[SLATEmosphere]

It's got to be Bobby....right? I mean he's got all the motive in the world. He gets no respect from his teammates. No respect from the fans and can barely still see the field. Sounds like someone is bitter..and it isn't me!!

I don't.

 

[Rampage]

I don't.

who do you think the snitch was/is?

Here's why it's not Bobby IMO.

Because you can say the kid sucks and you can say he was a wasted draft pick and that stuff.

But he's never come off as a punk.

So Romo is his best friend.

Why would he go and talk some BS and get his BF into more media nonsense.

I just don't think he would do that at all even if he hated #81 more than he hates the Cowboys bringing in older LB's every year.

I just wish we knew!! If it's not Bobby then I'm confident that the "snitch" is already off the team. Let's hope these 15 fresh faces can change the atmosphere around Valley Ranch a bit...ather than having Deion hanging around with his BFF Pacman all day.

Let me put it this way, the locker room issues are off this team. Guys left on this team are not the ever elusive "snitch."

 

[Idgit]

Everybody needs to lay of Johnson. So he talked to someone he played with who later was caught on camera making inferences about the conversation on a clip that was never meant to be aired. Big Deal.

If Brad says he's not the snitch, I don't seen any compelling evidence to suggest he's lying. And talking to Sapp about the topic in any way, shape, or form may have been poor judgment, but it doesn't make him a bad guy, and it doesn't make him a fool.
