If that were so, surely Bowlsby would have said, hey, Mike, don't sign anything for a couple of days, I might have something to discuss with you. (Bowlsby also would have an additional list of potential replacements, but that's a different discussion.)
I realize this is all water that is way past the bridge, but your comment makes me wonder: If Bowlsby wasn't deliberately easing out Johnson, why did he let Johnson's contract run out with no offer of an extension?
