When John Johnson III signed with the Cleveland Browns as a free agent in 2021, he landed a three-year deal worth $33.75 million. He only played out two years of that contract, getting released by Cleveland this offseason.
The contract he signed with the Rams this week is for significantly less than what he earned the last two years in Cleveland. According to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times, Johnson’s deal with the Rams is for one year at the veteran minimum of $1.08 million.
