So, let me ask 2 questions:
1) is Jerry Jeudy the #1 receiver on the team?
2) If he is, and I am going to debate anyone who disagrees, will you take issue with a second receiver that gets us 800+ yards and 5 TDs?
OK, I guess 3 questions... What are the expectations of receiver #2 and even receiver #3?
That is what you are getting in Johnson... 800 yards and 5 TDs as a starting receiver.
Waiting to hear the numbers, but this could be a good signing if he managed to be humbled and has his head on straight.
The other thing is Elijah Moore got an unrestricted tender, so if he doesn't sign with another team before the deadline July 21, he can only sign with the Browns and it's only $3.428M in 2025 salary. If he does sign elsewhere, the Browns will have him used in the compensatory calculation for next year. My guess is he will not sign elsewhere, so it is a fairly inexpensive 3rd receiver for the roster if he doesn't.. If he does sign, it should help us get a comp pick.
The date has changed to May 1st, so we will know by Friday.
As I said elsewhere, it's a decent signing. It has some potential upside, maybe big. It also carries some potential downside. Being this might be his last chance, we stand a good chance to see the good Diontae.
If not, it won't be hard to wash our hands.
