Taron Johnson, a brilliant defensive back for the Buffalo Bills, inked a three-year contract extension. Johnson’s new contract keeps him with the team through the 2027 NFL season.
The Bills announced the news without disclosing the deal’s exact sum. Johnson is now the highest-paid nickel corner in NFL history thanks to a deal that is reportedly worth $31 million, according to reports from throughout the league.
Johnson just finished his greatest professional season. He recorded 98 tackles at the end of the 2023 season in addition to 1.0 sacks, eight passes defensed, and three caused fumbles. He ultimately made the Second-team All-Pro roster.
Johnson stated on the Bills’ official website, “They treat me like family and I love the guys I’ve played with, I love the guys they’ve brought here.” “We’ve been right there every year, so all I want to do is keep pushing past that and make it to the Super Bowl.”
In the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft, the Bills picked Taron Johnson. Johnson made the most of his increased role in 2020 after demonstrating promise in his first two seasons as a professional. He became an integral member of Buffalo’s defence, finishing the 2023 season with the second-most snap total on the team with 955.
In 2024, the New England Patriots will have a new quarterback in addition to a new head coach. On Sunday, the Patriots announced that they are trading Mac Jones, a starter from the previous season, to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Patriots reportedly explored a Jones trade with four clubs in the last several days, but only the Jaguars made a formal offer. Jacksonville will trade a sixth-round pick to New England as part of the agreement.
In the 2021 NFL Draft, the Pats selected Alabama native Mac Jones with the 15th overall pick. In his rookie season, Jones was designated the starting lineup. Jones was an alternate in the Pro Bowl his rookie year, leading New England to a 10-7 record.
Nevertheless, Jones was unable to duplicate his inaugural season in the subsequent two years. He had an especially difficult year in 2023, sitting on the bench several times due to subpar play.
