Stevie Johnson, UH OH ?

This from the AP:

Stevie Johnson and the Buffalo Bills are still "far apart" in contract talks. And the receiver doesn't expect the team to use its franchise tag to retain him, a person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The update on talks comes after the two sides exchanged offers last week, and agreed to meet at the NFL combine in Indianapolis this week.

Meh, I'm still relatively confident they'll retain Stevie Johnson. This doesn't sound much like news except it does dovetail with what our airport buddy told us about 10 days ago that the two sides were indeed far apart.

Maybe some real news will come out during the combine which starts this Wednesday.
