Browns RB Duke Johnson Drawing Trade Interest From At Least Three Teams

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, at least three NFL teams are currently believed to be interested in trading for Browns RB Duke Johnson and it’s possible that more suitors will surface if the Browns are serious about moving him.

Cabot says that the Browns are in no hurry to trade Johnson at this point in time because they don’t know yet how many games Kareem Hunt will be suspended by the NFL.

However, should the Browns get the right offer for Johnson, Cabot says they’re willing to trade him.

At the Combine last week, Browns GM John Dorsey said the decision to sig Hunt doesn’t make Johnson expendable “yet.”

Johnson, 25, is a former third-round pick of the Browns back in 2015. He was in the final year of his four-year, $3.105 million contract when he agreed to a three-year, $15.6 million extension for the 2018 season. 

Johnson stands to make base salaries of $1.8 million and $3.6 million over the next two years of the agreement.

In 2018, Johnson appeared in all 16 games for the Browns and rushed for 201 yards on 40 carries (5 YPC) to go along with 47 receptions for 429 yards receiving and three touchdowns.
