Okay, so I think we’ve established that in the whole we think the Cards should grab KJ. But, the question is, will they…or even, will they have the chance? Right now Johnson is on waivers. I’m not real clear on how the waiver wire works, but I think the worst team gets the first chance at these players. Let’s look at who’s in line for Johnson. Outside of record, these are in no particular order; I’m not certain what the tie breaker is. I didn't include teams with the same record as the Cards that we've lost to head-to-head:
<b>Jacksonville (2-7): </B>maybe they’ll think hard about taking Johnson. They have Smith and…well, nobody else really to speak of, I guess. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Jax snatch him up.
<B>Oakland (2-7): </B>Rice, Brown, Porter. Outside of Porter, who the heck knows who will be lining up in the silver and black as wide outs next year. If it weren’t for all sorts of cap trouble (I think they’re in cap hell, not sure), then I say this is also a team that could use KJ.
<B>San Diego (2-7): </B>They just signed Boston to a huge deal. Parker is playing well. Dwight is dependable. I don’t see Schotty telling the owner they need to spend money on another WR. That said, KJ is a dependable 3rd down type that I think Shotty likes, but I just don’t see it happening.
<B>**Atlanta (2-7): </B>Price has looked very pedestrian. Finneran has promise, but has not been consistent. The TE is the best pass receiving option at the moment. You have an owner that is bending over backwards to please the fans and win games. My guess is this is where KJ ends up.
<B>NY Jets (3-6):</B> Cherbet, the Jets’ 3rd down machine, is injured. KJ, one of the better 3rd down machines is on the waiver wire. Hmmm…
<B>Chicago (3-6):</B> Booker-solid. Terrell-getting better. White—pleasant surprise. Gage-playing well as a rook when he gets his shots. I don’t think KJ ends up here, although I think it would be a good fit for him.
To be honest, as much as I’d like to see Kevin Johnson with a Red Bird on his lid, I don’t think the Cards will even get the opportunity not to bring him in. One of these teams will grab him before we even get the chance.
