I'm not surprised ... I thought this might happen, as I stated earlier. Part of it is a matter of saving face, I think. The FO said repeatedly that they would match any offer to their RFAs, and they'd lose credibility if they turned around and let Johnson go. I too like the fact that we're keeping our homegrown talent ... I hope the same holds true for McCants. Maybe this latest move will make teams think twice before signing McCants to an offer sheet.

BJ will compete for the H-back spot and has always been a standout on special teams, but his contract is going to make the team make some tough decisions. I wonder why Larry Moore hasn't been released yet, seems like it's inevitable.

As I understand it, Moore still hasn't been cleared to play from his injury last season. And NFL policy doesn't allow Moore to be released until he's cleared to play

So, was matching the offer to Johnson tied to the decision to let Trotter seek a trade? What are the financials behind a Trotter trade, do we save money?
Not sure how the numbers work out on trading Trotter... where's that Crazy Canuck when you need him???

he will easily be replaced by some faster young stud that is paid the league minium.Its a smart move to let him go. Bye-bye good luck in N.O.

all I have to say is for the money he's getting paid, especially this season, he better live up to the obvious expectations that Gibbs has for him.

Well if Coach feels he's the type of guy that needs to remain here in DC, then I trust him. I just hope BJ lives up to everything.

BJ does two things real well: he blocks and plays killer special teams. No wonder Gibbs wanted to keep him.
