<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Suns have made a contract offer to restricted free agent Joe Johnson and are waiting for Johnson's response. Terms of the offer could not be confirmed, but it is known to be for less than the maximum amount allowed under league rules for free agents. Johnson's agent, Arn Tellem, did not return a call seeking comment. Other teams can negotiate with Johnson but cannot sign him to an offer sheet until July 22. If one does, Phoenix will have seven days to match the offer or lose Johnson without compensation. The Suns have made it clear that re-signing Johnson is the top priority of the off-season, along with negotiating an extension with Amar? Stoudemire. The Suns have said they will match any offer that Johnson may receive. </div> Source
