The Facts:
Johnson wants to play for a contender at this point in his career and his agent expressed Johnson's interest in playing for the Chargers in a phone call to the team yesterday, sources said. Sources also said the Chargers told agent Jerome Stanley they are not interested in Johnson.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With 70 catches for 815 yards last season, the 34-year-old Johnson is seemingly still a capable receiver. But the Chargers already have multiple receivers of similar capabilities. Union Tribune staffer Kevin Acee went on to suggest that while while Johnson has seemingly mellowed over time, his penchant for being the center of attention would not seem to fit the type of players GM A.J. Smith has assembled over the past four years as general manager.
