It depends on the price tag and I'd need to interview Johnson and see where his head was at. He did come back after sitting out 3 games. Ridley on the other hand, has been gone a while and from the radio silence that the Falcons are projecting on the issue, that tells me Ridley might be done with football. If Ridley had come back at some point during this last season, maybe I wouldn't be so apprehensive about a deal, but his silence is deafening.

The bottom of your post must've gotten cut off. Just going by Ridley's abilities and stats, of course he would be an upgrade. A very significant one. If we could get a healthy minded Ridley, re-sign D.J. Chark and add a couple of WR's in the draft, we'd be in very good shape.

Nope, not cut off.  Just edited it.

Your concerns for Ridley's MH are certainly valid.

I think it's entirely possible they are legit MH issues and not a ruse for escaping a new coach (Smith) for whom he has antipathy.

But assuming his MH issues are his iteration of Ramsey's exit strategy, or otherwise a MH issue that can be stabilized, assuming the other compensation is sufficient, you'd be okay with the deal?

I would be.  Physically, I agree completely with your assessment of Ridley.  I'd certainly take Ridley over Gallup and I like a healthy Gallup.
