Question from KC fan about Tank Johnson..

I saw obviously that he got cut but I wondered if you could give me some insight as to how good of a player he still is...thanks!

Tank is on the downside of his career, but he's still a decent player

I don’t know if he would be the answer as a starter right now, but he’d be a great backup to have on your team.

You could say..

…that there isn’t much left in the Tank (sorry, couldn’t resist), but UpStateMike is right…he’d be a decent backup..definitely not a starter. I think he became expendable here after Geno Atkins played well enough last year that they made him a starter.

Agreed

If you need a short term starter, he is a good pick-up, but he is not a long-term solution. He might end up as an injury replacement somewhere this year.
