Clarence E. Hill Jr., of the Star-Telegram, reports the Carolina Panthers have agreed to a four-year deal with free agent WR Keyshawn Johnson (Cowboys). Johnson received a $5 million signing bonus.



so he's not going back to the cowboys, which is a good thing. he does make the panthers better though.

Ha ha ha ha ha. He is old and can't back up anything that comes out of his mouth. I am surprised that the Panthers would sign T.O. without the talent. They must be worried about their stagnant team.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson

I don't think this is a bad move. He's not a great player, obviously, but everyone knows that. He comes is an upgrade to that receiving corps which was a lot like ours last season. They had Steve Smith and everybody else. Now, Keyshawn's not gonna go for 1200 yards, maybe not even 1000 but he won't be bad with Smith and he'll take pressure off of Keary Colbert who better step up.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson

he's still a good receiver and a good #2. he can put up 800 yard seasons and blocks on running plays. He'll also be a HUGE upgrade over what they had, and they can still stick drew carter in the slot.

So in other words he is an old Rod Gardner. Good to know.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson

I live in Charlotte, about 10 minutes away from Bank of America Stadium and you should hear the radio shows down here this morning. Keyshawn is great, Keyshawn is one of the best. I can't believe how excited these people are for getting a 34 year old possession receiver. Steve Smith was on the radio basically saying, I'll get mine, he'll have to settle for what ever is left. There will be problems with these two. Steve Smith is good as long as he gets the ball. He made a comment last year when they lost, well I caught my 10 for 120+ and 2TDs. So now when his 10 become 4 or 5, hes going to cry like a baby. Anyway, Keyshawn in my backyard, not good. I sometimes run into a player or two during the season, I hope its not this loser.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson

I was thinking that Keyshawn is their way of getting a guy like Muhsin, but he's nowhere near the receiver Mushin is at this point in his career compared to Keyshawn.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson

moose is better than key, though both are on the downside. they are somewhat alike on the field.

Re: Panthers | Team lands K. Johnson

Ummm. Has anyone forgotten how this guy acts on the sidelines? Why would you want that out of a good player let alone a mediocre one.

Hey That guy, remember, 34, downside of his career etc...

blah blah blah, he's filling an obvious need. You think carolina WR situation was good last year with steve smith and no one else?

unlike sam adams, they desperately need a WR, and he came pretty cheaply for his talent level. did you see carolina play last year with the one man receiving corp?

Keyshawn is a jackass, but he is a very solid veteran and he is still one of the elite blocking wide recievers in the NFL. People tend to overlook that aspect of his game. This is a great pickup for Carolina.

Great pickup? So you think the Redskins should have signed him since they run the ball a lot and he would have been much cheaper than Randle-El.

This is insane...
