I don’t want to start this with negativity and ragging on Dontae Johnson, so let’s start it with a highlight:
That’s close to half of the good Dontae Johnson plays. Now let’s talk about the guy. He’s back. The 49ers waived Pita Taumoepenu to make room and now Johnson is returning for training camp. As far as Taumoepenu is concerned, man that’s got to hurt. A Shanahan draft pick waived for a Balke pick with a consensus of not being very good.
So what has Johnson been up to? Well the 49ers didn’t pick him up in 2018 when he entered free agency, so he bounced around not one, not two, but four different teams before returning to the 49ers; The Seattle Seahawks, the Buffalo Bills, The Arizona Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs.
