I think Johnson was a bit misused by the old regime there, so I don't know that the 3-4 would make it much worse, aside from the Chiefs apparently lacking a good NT. That won't help him.

As for being traded, Johnson would have been on the block earlier this year if at all (especially under a new HC and front office) since 2009 is his final under contract. No offense to Diles or Adibi, but looking ahead to 2010, I'd be very curious about him as a Will in the Texans defense. Very curious indeed.
