Ted Johnson Anyone? - New England Patriots Forums

Read in today's Herald where Ted Johnson was saying he would come and play for the right money ( more then minimum). Said he is cleared to play and wasn't concerned with the concussions. Interesting, not sure if BB is interested.

Found that interesting, even though he is a little lighter, might help.. I would suspect that BB and SP did not know he was interested, there is no other obvious reason they would not contact him.

I'd sign to a vet minimum contract filled with incentives. I wonder how much he has left in the tank..

Hey Ted, come on down! We have two empty roster spots, do we not?

Huh, interesting. He's had plenty of time for his body to heal but I wonder how close (or far) he is to being in game shape. We could certainly use some veteran help. I was a TJ fan before the injury bug hit. He knew how to fill in those gaps at the line.

How can he suddenly be declared fit to play again? I thought he left the game on doctors' advice re., concussion syndrome. Now it seems he has caught Junior Seau syndrome.

Actually I think he's a couple years younger than I am so he must be 35-ish.

34. Close enough.

Maybe HE's not concerned, but he should be. He quit for all the right reasons. Why drasticly increase your odds of debilitating brain problems as you age with life expectancy on the rise?

I can only speculate that something in his life situation has changed such that unexpectedly he needs more money.

Can he punt or play wide receiver?
