I arrived in Kansas City for my visit to Chiefs training camp on Tuesday and Wednesday with several emails awaiting me in my inbox.
Yes, you guessed it. Do I think Chad Johnson, who was cut by Miami after a weekend domestic violence arrest, is a good fit for the Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders or Chargers?
Let me speak for all four teams in the AFC West: No.
The combination of Johnson’s age (34 years old), declining production, recent arrest and potential to be a distraction on a daily basis is too much. I just don’t see it.
All four teams are a work in progress at the receiver position. But I just don’t think Johnson would be the answer in any of the AFC West cities.
