Panthers | K. Johnson released Tue, 1 May 2007 11:55:13 -0700 ESPNews reports the Carolina Panthers have released WR Keyshawn Johnson Would he like to comeback to the Jets ? Do Jets' fans want him back ?
I'd rather have him than McCairens - he doesn't seem to have the mouth problems he used to (does he?).
Guess who he's speaking with--I'll give you a hint---It's NOT Greenbay! Its starts with Pat and ends in Rats!
Most will say no. I'll say yes because he can still catch the ball over the middle with impunity. Not sure there is any place for him though.
Sure would. He's more of a threat than JMAC. One thing which always impressed me with Keyshawn is that he would take monster hits across the middle and rarely, if ever, choke up the ball. He's quite durable and hands are great, so the only thing is speed- if he's #3 in the slot maybe speed isn't so much of an issue.
You can't put our number one receiver in the slot, thats basically an insult. Coles, Cotch, Johnson is a very tempting trio, but I voted no. He disrespected our franchise and our fans, and I don't want him coming back.
I would love to have Keyshawn back. He's matured to the point that he understands his role on a football team. He'd come in with a bit of a chip on his shoulder and contribute a heck of alot more the McCareins. It was a HUGE mistake to release him. Jarrett is going to need a year or two to get NFL ready, and Keyshawn, being basically the same type of receiver and from his school, would have been the perfect guy to mentor him. Keyshawn was almost giddy on draft day when talking to Jarrett.
heh... I actually feel bad for Key... he was on his high horse when they drafted Jarrett. Tough luck. Bring him back to NY.
There is a reason he is looking for his 3rd team in 3 years. He lost so much speed he has trouble getting open.
I wouldn't care if we DIDN'T get him. I wouldn't mind him coming back, however. He is more of a threat than J-Mac is right now.
Get him for short money. Line his ass up at TE and Slot. Move him around! He can still catch the ball by going way up for it!!! Let's get creative here.
Give Him the Damn Ball! Bring Him Back!! #1 A Coles, Cotchery, Keyshawn receiving triumvirate is a serious threat! #2 as for his history with the team :shit: #3 I can dig out my K. Johnson Jersey for opening day! :up:
He was so excited to be playing with the Panthers and coaching up Dwayne Jarrett. Poor guy. And hell yeah, sign me up for Keyshawn coming back.
I'd definaitely go for him, based on price. He knows that looked like a fool now considering everything that happened on draft day. He's gonna have a fire under his ass.
