Ben Johnson

I think that was a good exercise for me, just to see the growth that not only he had, but we had as an entire offensive team.

Absolutely, because I think he can make a similar type of jump again this year.

I love DJ and shoot, I got a little emotional when the trade happened.

He came in, he made his rounds saying goodbye to the coaches and Ryan and his crew.

It hurts because I viewed him as one of the leaders.

And yet the business is the business and we had to...

make some decisions in terms of salary cap and things of that nature.

I think the best thing for him is he's going to a great situation.

He's got a history with Joe Brady.

I think he's very excited to play with another talented quarterback in Josh Allen.

I think we're putting him in a great spot.

I've been a part of some of those trades in my past where you move on from a guy and they're not necessarily going to a great situation.

So

I'm happy for him.

And yet, I feel like it was probably the move that we needed to make.

Opportunities start to show up now because DJ had the most skins on the wall in terms of production throughout his career and so now that opens some windows, some targets.

Where does it get distributed?

You already mentioned Rome and Luther, certainly, but also it's a competition between the receiver room and the tight end room and the running back room.

I think it's going to be really healthy for our guys in the spring in the training camp to look to carved roles for themselves and see how they can be featured in our offense.

It was disappointing with some of his drops last year.
