The Broncos have interest in adding cornerback Kevin Johnson, it was reported by 9News in Denver on Tuesday. The former first-round pick of the Texans played on a one-year deal with the Bills last year.
Johnson had a long list of injuries with the Texans, but managed to stay healthy with the Bills in 2019, appearing in all 16 games. Johnson provided a depth role, but also pushed fellow cornerback Levi Wallace for his starting job. The two, at times, split playing time with Wallace getting slightly more.
With that rotation in mind, he did only play in 32 percent of the Bills’ defensive snaps last season.
It’s unlikely Johnson would re-sign with the Bills considering their depth at the position with Tre’Davious White, Taron Johnson, Wallace and the recently added Josh Norman.
But if Johnson sticks around the market for awhile and doesn’t land a suitor, there could be a depth spot for him in Buffalo. The Broncos may provide a better chance at more significant playing time, though.
