Buccaneers Acquire George Johnson Via Trade
According to the Tampa Bay Times‘ Rick Stroud, the Buccaneers and Detroit Lions will not use an arbitrator to rule on their offer sheet dispute over defensive end George Johnson. Instead, the two sides have reportedly worked out a trade which will send Johnson to Tampa Bay for what Stroud is calling “low-round picks.”
On Monday, the NFL confirmed that the Lions were disputing the terms of the contract which included de-escalators that could increase the total money in the three-year deal from $7 to $9 million.
