Kevin Johnson
Johnson is another newcomer who shouldn’t feel entitled to his roster spot. The Browns can easily absorb eating his $1 million signing bonus that they’ve already paid him. That’s the only part of his contract that is guaranteed.
Johnson’s path is simple. The slot corner who played in Buffalo last year is instantly the No. 3 CB with the Browns and a valuable new addition. The Johnson from his injury-plagued Texans days will not make this team. Take it from someone who covered Johnson in Houston — the Texans version from 2016-2018 isn’t good enough to be CB5 on the Browns right now.
