Bryant Johnson To Lions

[Kellzeatyou]

Good luck, hes gonna need it

[Tovey21]

good luck in Detroit lol.

[Mullester]

I feel bad for the guy that sucks I actually thought he did very well when he played.

[49ersz]

Calvin Johnson and Bryant Johnson sounds like they could be an interesting tandem if they ever find a QB.

[V LordofWar V]

A league source tells PFT that Bryant Johnson has agreed to terms on a three-year, $9 million deal.

Good luck to him

[Leeding49er]

Good luck Johnson. the 9ers have just acquired a replacement anyway, so meh.

[9ernation94]

See ya, thanks for :hmm: nothing I guess.

[ninerlicious]

he'll probably make a nice second to calvin.

[jackacid]

No shock, we knew we would let BJ walk.

That's why we signed another BJ :laugh:

[SING'S BOXERS]

have fun in that NFL graveyard. Yes you cashed in for 3 years, but after that, who's going to want you?

[ninerlicious]

:laugh: Think they'll win a game?

yes. the odds of two 0-16 seasons, back-to-back nonetheless, make it very likely they'll win one. plus they have a new coach that i think has a promising future.

[esanton]

His production really stayed the same in his transition from Arizona to San Francisco. He didn't "break out" like many expected. Still, our wide receiver department isn't exactly stellar. I probably would have kept him around at least another year. Oh well, best of luck to him.

I wouldn't have kept him. The knock on him in AZ was bad hands and it carried over to SF. I would have let him go too and only showed very lil interest in re-signing him.

[ninerlicious]

But 2 0-16 seasons would be incredibly funny.

true. it would be even funnier if it happened to like the rams or the cowboys :laugh:

[Nevyn]

Good match for both sides. They get a possession guy opposite CJ and he gets his shot to start, something he would likely not get from any other team.

Too bad. I liked Bryant Johnson. I think he got a bad rap for being soft due to the hamstring injury. When he was healthy he was tough and productive.

I wish him the best of luck.

[esanton]

Yeah he wasn't great at all. Still, since our team is struggling anyway I would have given him another year if the price were right.

Hopefully we'll have a good draft and good FA signing period. I am tired of missing the playoffs :(

[49ersAllDay52]

Popsted already.Wrng Forum he's not niner anymore

[49ermanic1]

Yeah hes not a 49er so it belongs in the nfl forum.

[surftech]

Sorry if its been posted.

The Lions have had a taste for first-round receivers.

And they've added another one.

A league source tells PFT that Bryant Johnson has agreed to terms on a three-year, $9 million deal.

Johnson was a first-round selection of the Cardinals in 2003, but he was overshadowed by 2003 second-rounder Anquan Boldin and 2004 first-rounder Larry Fitzgerald.

Johnson joined the 49ers via free agency in 2008, under a one-year deal. He and Isaac Bruce were the starters last season.

Bah, I dont think his rep sunk him, I think the emergence of Morgan did. They like Morgan better as a physical guy, and they want speed opposite him.

[BavarianNiner]

According to profootballtalk, Bryant Johnson has just been inked by the Detroit Lions...

[Nin£R_4_LifE]

I liked him, shame.

[MR. WEBBER]

johnson should have stayed in arizona. his career keeps getting worse and worse. goes from warner to hill to culpepper. talk about a career killer.

[lostnfound99]

Just want to post here good luck to bryant. I hope that he helps create a johnson & johnson family corporation over there in detroit or something...

[Nevyn]

he didnt really have that much option, did he? They were and are pretty happy with Breaston, so Im not sure they even offered him a contract.

[BrentJones84]

Why would anyone want to sign with Detroit?

[Vivek49erFan]

Why would anyone want to sign with Detroit?

I have no idea

[bruin4life]

Why would anyone want to sign with Detroit?

probably the same reason why a guy would turn down a multi-year deal with Buffalo to play with SF...

[49ersz]

Why would anyone want to sign with Detroit?

I am guessing because Johnson feels he can start there opposite of Calvin. Plus since there already is a #1 caliber WR it take pressure off of him. Throw in that they have a good young RB. All they need is a decent QB and revamped OL they would have a dangerous offense.

[NinerLifer]

If Lions get Stafford at #1 and have Clavin and Bryant, that offense could put up some pasing numbers, and Bryant would be a part of it.

I personally like Bryant and thought he would be a great #2.

[BAKNAFEK88]

Why would anyone want to sign with Detroit?

The Detroit Lions aren't that bad offensively. They had a 1000yd rusher in Kevin Smith and a 1000yd WR in Calvin Johnson. I think BJ will fit in nicely. They have a few pieces in line along with a good OC.

[DeadlyNiners]

There should be a poll of would you rather have Bryant Johnson or Brandon Jones.

[fanfromcan]

I here Brad Johnson was cut by the Cowboys. Johnson, Johnson and Johnson

[49ers]

I've been drinking, but haven't the Lions already signed a WR? Wouldn't BJ be like 3rd on the depth chart at the very least? I don't know why he'd be happy with that.

[49ersFan_vienna]

wow
thats breaking news

[Clos9er]

Bryant Johnson, who had 546 yards last season, agreed to terms with Detroit on Saturday, according to profootballtalk.com. Also Bruce is a 50/50 at coming back.

Heres why we signd Brandon Jones...

[Bryon]

Pay attention. You are in the wrong forums and you are about 5 threads too late.

[gnoix]

lol.. about a day late also.

[bmarto]

We let Bryant Johnson get away??? To the Lions of all Teams??

[outlawmann]

Man this is a tragic thread...what was I saying again?

[The OLD Cookie Monster]

Noobs suck.


Your thread sucks, terrible, serves no purpose. Really, really bad thread. Just horrible.

[Pnkpnther16]

Why...

just why?

Why do posters have to be so stupid?
