After brief stints with the Bills and Cardinals in 2018, Johnson signed on with the Chiefs this offseason. Kansas City released him in May and Johnson returned to the 49ers, only to be let go during final roster cuts. 

In 2017, Johnson appeared in all 16 games for the 49ers and recorded 77 tackles, one interception returned for a touchdown and seven pass defenses.
