The Facts:
There's a remote possibility the Packers will make a play for Johnson, who is threatening to hold out as he enters the final year of his rookie contract (more
HERE). One NFL source said the Chiefs' asking price for Johnson, who carried a whopping 416 last season for 1,789 yards and 17 touchdowns, is first-, second- and third-round picks.
Reported by the Wisconsin State Journal
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That source told Journal staffer Jason Wilde the Packers, who first inquired about Johnson shortly before the draft, talked to the Chiefs again recently but determined the asking price was too high. Wilde added that making such a deal would be out of character for Packers GM Ted Thompson, who believes draft picks are a precious commodity. Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy have maintained throughout the offseason they like their mix of halfbacks -- Vernand Morency, Brandon Jackson, Noah Herron and P.J. Pope.
