Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson

[DEVIL'S OWN]

Our D-Line will be fine.....everybody....relax and drink a cold one... or Linebackers or Stonger than ever, Our DB core, is top 10 easy now, with that superstar Rookie.......But I'd take tank because he's so talented that he would be worth it, plus he come cheap..........and wasn't D.

Now thats more like it! Personally, I understand everybodys take here and wanting solid character type of guys. With that said, I do not believe that Tank Johnson would be that problemmatic here in Washington. For some reason we do not have that many troubled players. I chalk that up to good coaching and a solid locker room. By the way Riggins was trouble also, but the coaching staff found a way to keep him somewhat in line.

sandtrap made the correct point and you guys are missing it. He's got an automatic 8 game suspension. Now if it's November and our line is battered, we are potentially in the playoff hunt but giving up big yards on the ground each week then this would at least be worth discussing. But as it stands now, Tank is not going to be playing for anyone until midway through this season at the earliest.

Yes but we could sign him now with it in our minds that we would have him after this season.

Well we could also sign Jeff George with it in our minds that he would lead us to the superbowl. However, I don't think we'll be spending a valuable roster spot on either of them.

Point taken, but we would have to spend as much on Tank.

I hear Ray Caruth will be paroled soon as well, we should start negotiating with his agent now!

Hell, while we are at it Michael Westbrook isnt doing anything right now either. Lets just go get them all. Look I was just saying for the sake of argument that it could be looked at as an investment. Personally I could care less either way.

Big Daddy..........Johnson?

I think there are alot of people on here that are over-reacting on Tank's case.. Would u sign Ray Lewis to a vet min if he became available? Most of u would even though he killed 2 people. Stuff changes over time and I think he could a great value to our team in a reserve role

First off, Lewis wasn't convicted of anything.

Tank on the other hand is a thug, plain and simple. He's one F up away from a season long ban from the NFL and probably prison time.

With the new Comiss in place, he obviously will not tolerate multple nickel dime problems, or more serious probs. It will get you the door. Guys like Tank have NO chance

Well neither was OJ...

This last incident in Arizona is petty. a speeding ticket and being "impaired to the slightest degree" they could say that if he admitted hed even been to a bar. Who gets into trouble with their job for getting a speeding ticket?!?! Granted, his previous charge for the guns does say something about him, at least he didnt use them on anybody. But dont we have the right to bare arms in this country? I know they should have been registered. But compared to Pacturd and Henry... this is not even in the same range of problems.

Petty or not when you're already on thin ice with the league and with the legal system it makes any offense a significant one. The guy just doesn't get it at all. I'm amazed that some people would want this guy. Would you want to work with a guy like this?
