Keyshawn Johnson says he will decide in the next few days whether to return to the NFL.

Johnson, the former Jets, Buccaneers, Cowboys and Panthers wide receiver, apparently has an offer on the table from the Miami Dolphins. If he takes the offer, it will reunite him with Bill Parcells, his coach in New York and Dallas who is now the Dolphins’ vice president of football operations. 

“I like challenges,” Johnson told Michael Silver of Yahoo Sports. “The challenge of helping to turn a team around, to help get it to the next level, that gets my competitive fires burning. I have the itch, and right now I’m trying to decide how strong that itch is.”

Johnson currently works as an ESPN analyst, and although his salary hasn’t been reported, Silver reports that Johnson’s TV deal is “lucrative.” Returning to the NFL might even require taking a pay cut. 

But if Johnson is itching to compete, the TV studio is the wrong place for him. And while the 35-year-old Johnson is unlikely to ever return to the Pro Bowl form of his prime, if he could play as well as he did in 2006 (when he caught 70 passes for 815 yards), he’d be the Dolphins’ best receiver.
