The Facts: Johnson has changed agents, sparking speculation that he could be moving on this offseason after a career year with the Cleveland Browns. Johnson has hired super-agent Drew Rosenhaus, a sign that the former undrafted free agent is eyeing a deal in free agency that could pay more than the Browns are willing to fork up for a third-string back.
Diehards Line:Johnson is a restricted free agent and the Browns tendered an offer to him worth $2.4 million. He made $2.29 million over his first three seasons in the league. Rosenhaus could look to get Johnson a more significant deal than there, where he would also have the potential to play a larger role. The Browns would have the option to match any deal that’s on the table, although they have to keep it realistic, considering there are multiple other positions that require attention. On top of that, the team should be in good hands with Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb, unless the unfortunate situation arises where both miss time again.
