It seems that 2008 might go down in history as Brad Johnson's final season in the NFL. Dallas has officially released Johnson on Thursday, and I'd be willing to bet that there aren't many teams who are rushing to pick him up.
Johnson started three games this past season and lost two of them, which is one of the many factors why The Cowboys did not reach the playoffs.
Following the news of Johnson's release, former Chicago quarterback, Rex Grossman publicly expressed interest in backing up Romo next season. Regardless of Grossman's inconsistency, he did lead The Bears to the Super Bowl a few years ago and in my eyes, he is better than Johnson or Brooks Bollinger (who may or may not be returning to Dallas.)
BYE, BYE ROY?
It appears that something is in the works for Roy Williams, (the safety, that is,) and it doesn't look good. It appears that Williams doesn't want to leave, but a trade might be in the works anyway.
He is not getting any younger, his play hasn't been up to standards these past couple of seasons, he's sustained two major injuries last season and he could never really play in coverage that well.
If these signs are any indication, there will be only one Roy Williams wearing a Dallas helmet next season, and he will be playing on offense, not defense.
HELLO HAYNESWORTH?!
Albert Haynesworth will not be in Tennessee next season... he won't be a Cowboy either, but for the next seven years or so, we'll be seeing plenty of him.
Haynesworth signed a guaranteed $41 million contract to play for division rivals, the Washington Redskins. The deal could reach as high as $115 million after it's all said and done, but this means Dallas will have to deal with him at least two times a season, something I'm sure Andre Gurode is looking forward to.
