I thnk Danny is a nice guy and would cooperate.
Based on what? Being a nice guy and getting your pay reduced by millions have nothing to do with one another. If DA thinks the market for his services is more than the Pat's offer he will asked to be cut.
As stated before I dont think Johnson would have a problem with low $$$ the cost of being apart of a proven winner. Knowing how complicated our Offense is I can see BB taking such a route as regards to WR. Anrdre Johnson and LaFell on the outsides with Edelman Gronk inside the numbers would be pretty difficult to stop.
Jules, Gronk and LaFell were #1, #2 and #3 in targets last year. All had over 100. Vereen had 77 and DA had 42. In this offense, where they ran 1048 plays and threw the ball 58% of the time, how many targets do you think will Johnson get here if DA and Vereen stay?
Johnson had 146 targets last year and is scheduled to make north of $11m in 2015. He still sees himself as #1 or #2 WR. He is not a guy looking to take the vet minimum to win a ring. I can promise you that the Pats will not pay him $6m to be a 4th option if they are not willing to pay DA that.
