On way out of Cleveland
Browns general manager Andrew Berry said Tuesday that Johnson will be released, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was entering the final year of his contract, and the Browns will be able to save $9.75 million by letting him go prior to June 1. The veteran safety recorded 101 tackles, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one interception and a half-sack across 17 appearances in 2022. He should draw heavy interest from numerous teams in need of safety help this offseason.

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.
