a million for 1 game. They cut their starting DT for a special teams player that didn't even play a snap.
1.9 million I beleive... + his Viking’s salary, good for Tom! Interestingly I read that coach Patterson really pounded the table for his return!

well, the guaranteed 900k will probably be on our tab now that we signed him.

Don’t know, I’ve seen a couple of articles commenting on “double dipping”
Cutting DT Tom Johnson backfires on Seahawks, veteran re-signs with Vikings
Seattle hoped to re-sign Johnson this week, but instead, the 34-year old defender will return to Minnesota.
Seeking an additional roster spot, the Seattle Seahawks took a major risk when they released starting defensive tackle Tom Johnson on Saturday morning prior to taking off for last night's game in Chicago.

Just what was rumored yesterday. And the Vikings have kept 5 RB. Its weird.
I'm wondering if one of Thomas or Boone are trade bait. When Kentrell Brothers comes off his suspension we are going to have to cut someone else. Maybe they trade one of these guys. I can't imagine there would be much to be had in a trade there, but outside of a potential trade scenario I'd agree, it is weird.
its what I was thinking too. Its a scenerio that makes sense—waiting for a RB injury or a team that needs RB help, then make a trade.
ok, I thought it was guaranteed only if the guy didn't sign or signed for less than the original amount.

I think as a vested veteran he (1)wasn’t subject to waivers (2)was eligble to receive his entire 2018 pay. In fact Seattle will have dead money in 2019 as well.
Tom Johnson will cost the Seahawks just over $1.8m towards the salary cap over the next two years, since he was cut after Week 1 rather than before.
$1.8m for 39 snaps and one tackle. 11:01 AM · Sep 18, 2018

This is the kind of stuff I've been talking about. Sneaky, tough, wise decisions that so far seem to be hitting far more than missing--getting Iloka, making the tough (and right) decision on Quigley...and now Carlson (though you could argue that drafting Carlson in the first place was misguided, but the mistake has been addressed and hopefully corrected while some would arrogantly stay with it), doing what it took to upgrade the QB when I'd say MOST observers thought we'd be better off with Keenum, landing Big Shelly after paying a QB 84M despite his "1 sack" in Seattle, waiting patiently for Flip even though we had a fairly solid option in Stefanski, and then having the foresight to know Flip will likely be here only one season, and so we don't let Stefanski interview. That's a brazen but whipsmart move. Drafting Hughes when most of us would've just taken the next guard on the list. Hughes looks like a future star and the guards are struggling.
Seems we’ve learned from the Eagles, depth could pay huge dividends for this team.
Some of you think that another team will lose a RB and turn to Roc Thomas or Mike Boone to save their season? DeMarco Murray and Jamaal Charles just sit by their phones, saying, "Damn the Vikings have so much depth with their undrafted free agent running backs who have never had a single carry in the NFL!!"
I think our #3 RB situation is probably cloudy because neither of these guys has convinced the coaches they are going to do much if they have to put one on the field.
