crewsor - yeah they still have to pay him. As i understand there are two reasons they kept him.
A) the trade deadline for this season has passed, so they cant trade him until after the season (i suspect he won't get 2 first round picks this time)
B) if they just cut him the would still have to pay him for this year, and the team would take the cap hit for both this year AND next (or at least the signing bonus money that would have been defered) onto their cap number for THIS year. I've read they don't have that kind of space, so they would have to also cut other players just to deal with Johnson's cap hit.
still... he must have really been a cancer to earn this.
