Parameters in Bucs, Lions Johnson swap set … The trade details in the agreement between Tampa Bay and Detroit to swap draft picks in order to resolve a dispute between the two teams over an offer sheet restricted free agent DE George Johnson signed with the Buccaneers has been announced. Detroit will get a 5th round pick from Tampa Bay, the 168h overall originally acquired from New England, while the Buccaneers will get a 7th rounder, the 231st overall originally acquired from Miami. Tampa Bay had signed Johnson to a 3-year, $9M offer sheet, however, Detroit had disputed the terms because the package included a de-escalator clause that could have reduced the deal by up to $2 million and the Lions wanted to match the lower amount to keep Johnson. With the deal, the 2015 draft selection order has been updated along with the picks by team file. Meanwhile, Green Bay has reportedly matched the 1-year, $2.6M offer sheet safety Sean Richardson signed with Oakland last week, meaning they will retain his services in 2015.
