Taron Johnson

Bills signed CB Taron Johnson to a three-year, $31 million contract extension.

Johnson is now the NFL’s highest-paid nickel back, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Now under contract through the 2027 season, Johnson, who was named as a Second-team All-Pro last season, will be one of the more veteran players in a Bills secondary that recently released safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Tre’Davious White and appears unlikely to re-sign safety Micah Hyde. Johnson received a PFF coverage grade of 81.7 for his efforts last season and allowed 60 receptions for 480 yards and three touchdowns while breaking up four passes.
