They are letting michael johnson go officially with this move

 

Maybe, but the Bungles have a LOT of cap space to make some contracts.

 

Johnson essentially turned down this deal and they gave it to dunlap (spread out over 1 more year, but still)

Geno Atkins is gonna get PAID though

 

Now he deserves Haynesworth money. I will say this, the Bungles have the money to keep most the the team happy, but will ownership follow through?

 

Has anything in their history indicated they would? Lol

 

No but now they have to spend money thanks to the new CBA.
