Quote:Geez, Johnson might want out, but he sure doesn't want to go to Cleveland (I think I am safe in inferring here). He wants to go to a contender at his age.

 

Contender is definitely a consideration, but one thing Cleveland has going for it is that his former Texans OC, Kyle Shannahan, is now the OC at the Browns and implenting an Kubiak type of offense that he's played virtually his entire career in.    I think it's a big thing for these veterans who have played almost their entire careers in the same offense.    It's like any other job where you're really good and comfortable at what you do, and just before you get ready to retire your employer completely changes the technology and wants to retrain you in a new skillset right before you ride off into the sunset.
