Fox Sports reports that Keyshawn's season-ending benching is a powerplay between Jon Gruden and GM Rich McKay. Johnson's agent said,
Keyshawn is a player brought in by the GM. But Jon won the Super Bowl and the owners hired him and he's telling the owners I need to buy the groceries, too. He's telling them he's going to make it work with his guys. Brad's (quarterback Brad Johnson) the only guy the GM brought in that is one of Gruden's guys. He's brought in all the rest of the offensive guys and he wants to make it work without Keyshawn.
Then down near the bottom of the story is this juicy bit:
This move with Keyshawn Johnson, and next year's cap charge, virtually guarantees the Bucs won't have enough to pay DT Warren Sapp.
The Tampa Bay defensive dynasty may be over.
