IT GETS WORSE...
With apologies to Paul Harvey...
And now -- The Rest Of The Story...
It was reported earlier that Ben Johnson had decided to remain with the Lions again this year. Hard to tell what (exactly) this will do for his future opportunities, BUT ... the rest of the story definitely adds interest...
It's now being reported that Johnson had scheduled an interview with the Commanders at his location. The Commanders personnel folks packed up and joined a flight to Detroit (assumedly) to meet with him. While enroute, the Commanders folks received a message from Johnson that he was no longer interested. So now, a group of Commanders people were winging their way to Johnson with no way to easily abort the process. Wasting time, energy, fuel and whatever else when it could have (and SHOULD have) been easily avoided. Johnson apparently doesn't care. He has had no comment on the situation as he sits back and watches.....
The gist of the online comments indicate a miffed Commanders group and questions about how other Front Offices look upon his methods and attitude.
THIS... along with Adam Schefter's comments about his salary demands "spooking" teams makes me wonder..... Maybe we are well done with this guy..??
