Sees role reduce in return to Rams
Johnson recorded 42 tackles (24 solo), six passes defended and two interceptions during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
After two years as a starter with Cleveland, Johnson returned to the team that took him in the third round in 2017 as a depth piece, but he was able to crack the starting rotation at safety after a Week 10 bye, producing modest numbers but a career low in tackles and his lowest snap count since an injury-shortened 2019 campaign. Johnson is an unrestricted free agent and would likely be looking at a reserve role again should he choose to return to the Rams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Return to Los Angeles possible
Johnson, an unrestricted free agent, could be a good candidate for either the Rams or Chargers, Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old may be one of the most intriguing defensive players remaining on the open market, considering his relatively young age and the fact he's coming off a 101-tackle season with the Browns. Rosenthal notes Johnson could be a very good fit with either his former Rams squad -- with which he spent the first four seasons of his career -- or the Chargers, two teams that have coaches Johnson has worked with in the past.

The Browns hope the version of Johnson they thought they were getting when signing him to a three-year deal prior to the 2021 season shows up 2022. Triple-digit tackles were expected - he achieved that twice in four seasons with the Rams - but he had just 67 over 15 games in his first season in Cleveland. Despite the drop in tackles, Johnson is a savvy leader who is a net-plus for any defense. He and fellow safety Grant Delpit return to form the back end, so the continuity should help.
