Johnson shared a story during a radio interview about a talented player he cut from the team for being detrimental to the team’s culture. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive team environment and suggested that if a player, regardless of their talent, disrupts the team’s harmony, they should be let go.
Team’s Response
