Juwan Johnson’s agent announces 2-year extension with Saints

Now that’s what you want to see. New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson is receiving a two-year contract extension, as announced by his agent AJ Vaynerchuk at Vayner Sports. Johnson broke out in a big way season as the Saints’ best red-zone scoring threat, catching seven touchdown passes.

Good for him to get this payday, though details on the contract are scarce. Johnson smarty signed a two-year deal that lines up with the number of guaranteed years in Derek Carr’s own deal — betting that the Saints’ new quarterback can help maximize his game just like he’s done with Las Vegas Raiders star pass-catching tight end Darren Waller the last few years. If all goes as planned, Johnson could impress for two seasons and then earn a massive payout in 2025.
