Signed a four-year, $28.05 million contract with the Cardinals in May of 2023.
Contract option picked up
The Cardinals have picked up their fifth-year option on Johnson's contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the report, the option calls for just over $19 million for the 2027 season, though it's possible that the Cardinals and the offensive tackle could reach an agreement on an extension before then. The No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft finished up the 2025 regular season on IR due to a knee issue, but has since had ample time to recover, which puts Johnson on track to be healthy the next time Arizona takes the field.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could compete for left tackle job
Josh Weinfuss of ESPN believes Johnson will get an opportunity to compete for the starting left tackle job in camp.
ANALYSIS
Johnson was Arizona's starting right tackle as a rookie in 2023 while D.J. Humphries started at left tackle. Humphries tore his ACL in Week 17 and was subsequently released, but Arizona signed free-agent offensive tackle Jonah Williams to a two-year, $30 million contract. Despite Williams' hefty contract, Weinfuss thinks Johnson will have a chance to win the left tackle spot in camp, with Williams shifting to right tackle should Johnson slot in on Kyler Murray's blind side.
