After being traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, George Johnson said goodbye to the Detroit Lions with a message on Twitter.
When defensive end George Johnson joined the Detroit Lions nearly a year ago, I wrote this about him:
At this point, Johnson looks like a camp body. He is slated to be behind Ziggy Ansah, Jason Jones, Devin Taylor and Darryl Tapp on the depth chart, and the Lions also recently added Kourtnei Brown. And considering the Lions could still use a draft pick on a defensive end, Johnson's chances of sticking around as a member of the 53-man roster don't seem great, but I suppose it's a bit early in the year to be thinking too much about that.
