Browns To Release John Johnson III
2 years agoThe Cleveland Browns will release safety John Johnson III at the start of the new league year on March 15, barring a trade, according to sources. Johnson was entering the final year of a three-year contract that he signed in free agency in 2021. The 27-year-old should draw plenty of interest on the open market next month if he makes it there. If the Browns end up releasing him, they'll save $9.75 million against the 2023 salary cap. In his second year in Cleveland in 2022, Johnson had 101 tackles (70 solo), four tackles for loss, half a sack, one interception, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 starts. Johnson had 107 solo tackles, one sack, four interceptions and nine passes defensed in his two seasons with the Browns.
