BUCCANEERS Keyshawn moving on after his deactivation

The receiver never understood why he wasn't more involved in the game plans.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Keyshawn Johnson sounded relieved.
Tampa Bay's star receiver wants out of town, and the Buccaneers agree it's best he go.
"It's been a good run," Johnson said after the Super Bowl champions announced Tuesday that they were deactivating the disgruntled two-time Pro Bowl selection for the rest of the season.
"I'm sorry it ended this way, but I'll move on," Johnson said. "I've had a pretty good career, and I'll continue to have a successful career and be a force in this league."
Disruptive
The Bucs shelved the eighth-year pro, saying he had become disruptive during a disappointing 4-6 start for the defending champs, who have lost three straight and are in danger of missing the playoffs.
Coach Jon Gruden insisted the move wasn't personal. Johnson, unhappy with his role in the Bucs' offense, said it was.
"They can say whatever they want. I know what happened," Johnson said. "I'm not going to bad mouth anybody, but how could it be anything but personal? I produced when I got the opportunity. I did everything asked of me."
Johnson was the Bucs' third-leading receiver with 45 catches for 600 yards and three touchdowns.
But he never understood why he wasn't more involved in Gruden's game plans. He voiced his concern to the coach and general manager Rich McKay last month, telling them that he wanted to leave after this season.
Johnson thinks he can play at a high level for five more seasons and would like to finish his career with a team that appreciates his abilities.
"It's a shock. I thought we would get through the year," Johnson said. "Why would you do that when you're trying to win another championship?
Self-proclamation
"You're talking about your best offensive player. And you're going to let him go? That's basically what they did. It doesn't make sense. ... But that's OK. I'll be fine. It didn't work out [with Gruden]. It was a bad marriage. Now, I'll move on."
