According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, the Buffalo Bills are expected to sign former first-round CB Kevin Johnson pending a final review of the contract.
It’s worth mentioning that signing him to a contract won’t impact a team’s 2019 compensatory picks, given that he was released this offseason.
Johnson, 26, is a former first-round pick out of Wake Forest by the Texans in the 2015 NFL Draft. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $10.04 million rookie contract when the Texans picked up his fifth-year option last year.
Johnson was owed $9.1 million under his fifth-year option, but the Texans made the decision to release him on Tuesday.
In 2018, Johnson was limited to appearing in one game and recorded four tackles and no interceptions for the Texans before he was placed on injured reserve with a concussion.
