Just a random thought...
I have some feeling inside me that this whole BJ was a little game involving Snyder and the league....
I think the Saints overpaid for Johnson, trying to "stick it" to Snyder and the 'Skins for playing the RFA game on the Jets last year...
So then Snyder PROBABLY got pissed, because he is one hell of a smart business guy and competitor and said, ok, you wanna play that game? We'll match that offer and deal him somewhere else BESIDES you and GET a draft pick in the process...
Anyone notice that of the 3 teams trying to trade for BJ, the Saints weren't mentioned??
Nice work FO... we ARE the official kings of the RFA game...
