Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson
If he played ANY other position but DL I'd say no way. BUT, given our line problems, I'd take him.
BTW - since he is still under his rookie contract, he is waived and does not have outright release UNLESS all 32 teams pass on him. Instead, the claiming team gets him for two years at the rookie contract minimums (He got all his money in his rookie signing bonus).
So, if we claim him off waivers, we get him for 8 games this year and a full season next year at the minimums.
