DMN: Former 2,000-yard rusher Chris Johnson believes he’d fit well in Dallas; ‘Cowboys, come holler

[JoeKing]

I'm concerned about the shooting and a lifestyle that requires packing. He is not a common CCL carrier.

Different strokes for different folks, CCL holders carry for all sorts of reasons. Questioning those motives is questionable in a country with a 2nd amendment of it's constitution such that the U.S.A. has. CCL carriers are more common in some states than others.

Bring him on an earn it contact and if he doesn't have it anymore let him go in the preseason

 

[Leadbelly]

Well, sounds like that's settled then. Straight from the pony's mouth.

We're rolling with what we have unless they look like crap in camp or Randle screws up off the field again.

Adding fuel to the fire was Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, who made it sound like the Cowboys are also interested in Johnson playing in Dallas next season, per Jon Machota of The Dallas Morning News:

He is somebody that is on a short list of ours that we think could ultimately come in and do some good things for us if we asked him to. But I wouldn't say that's a priority right now.

He said that today when addressing a group of season ticket holders.... Sooooo...

1. Thank god they don't actually believe we can go into training camp with our current list of clowns at RB.
2. I wonder who else is on that short list.... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

 

[Hardline]

He wants a paycheck....

Every player wants a paycheck.

I would at least see what kinda contract Johnson wants. Why not just bring him in on a small, cheap contract if you can and see what he can do with the rest?

If he's on the "short list", get him in here.

I have to admit I'm a little worried about the RB situation, but this is just a guess on my part, I'm pretty sure no matter how smart we think we are, the coaching staff knows more than anyone of us

 

[Rogerthat12]

Egads!

Better to serve lunch there than to be someone's cupcake.

Got to ask Wade about that one..lol

Oh I'm not making comments on people that have CCL. My point was that you cannot just compare him to common gun owners when he is involved in drive-bys.

2ks more proven than DMac.

Handsome Tom Brady does it for the love of the game.

Yep and it's not even comparable. A little above 1,000 yards in a season was a disappointment to people for Johnson, Dmac? The norm.

The fact that people will "pass" on Johnson but have faith in DMC tells me they are just gobbling up whatever the coaching staff spits at them.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

As noted earlier, I'd be inclined to bring him in once he no longer factors into the comp pick equation. I think between him and McFadden, one could end up being really good for us.

in all fairness, Chris Johnson was shot a few days before we signed McFadden

I think this is what everyone would want. At this point in FA, there's not many players if any that should think they deserve anywhere near a big contract. Maybe after the May cuts, but no FA as of right now.
