The Associated Press reports WR Keyshawn Johnson joined the Carolina Panthers to get a chance to win a Super Bowl ring. Johnson called WR Steve Smith "the most dominant force in the NFL at wide receiver" and said he was looking forward to lining up next to him. "I didn't come here to catch 100 balls," Johnson said. "I came here because I feel Carolina is the team with the best chance to get to the Super Bowl.''

interesting...

maybe he's not the one that should pipe down.

KJ had 839 yards last year, he's NEVER had less in a full season. the panthers #2 had 440 yards with a better QB. that means this i an upgrade that should help the team. I know you don't like the baggage, but please list all the remaining WR FAs that'd give them 800+ yards this season (as cheaply).

Keyshawn will be lucky to have 700 yards this year. In fact it wouldn't surprise me if Colbert has more yards than him. Colbert had a solid rookie year and at least he can improve.

You are right That Guy. I shouldn't have compared him to Gardner. Gardner has upside.

Age not minimum wage is what matters.

i'd think that playing time and production are sort of important too.

I remember towards the end of the season last year when the Packers picked up ol' 50/50, I saw him make this catch and then jump someone and then I get sad to think what might have been...



...if he would have been good.
