The Los Angeles Rams announced on Thursday that they re-signed safety John Johnson to an undisclosed. Johnson will return to the Rams in 2024 after putting up 42 tackles (24 solo), two interceptions and six pass breakups in 17 regular-season games (eight starts) in his return to the Rams in 2023. The 28-year-old defensive back was originally drafted by the Rams in the third round (91st overall) in 2017 out of Boston College. Johnson saw more playing time down the stretch in LA last year, but overall, it was a step back in more of a rotational role. At best, Johnson will be competing for a starting spot to open the 2024 campaign with Russ Yeast, putting him off the IDP radar. In his seven years in the NFL, Johnson has a total of 554 tackles (366 solo), one sack, 13 tackles for loss, six QB hits, 14 picks, 47 pass breakups, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs is entering the option year of his rookie deal on an $18.2 million salary in 2024. Wirfs is undoubtedly looking for a contract that will make him one of the highest-paid offensive linemen in football with an average yearly salary of $25 million-plus after moving to left tackle last year. He didn't participate in organized team activities or team drills during minicamp this offseason as a result. The Buccaneers could wait to try to sign him until after the season, as they did with some of their free agents this year. The 25-year-old could hold out in training camp this summer if he doesn't have a long-term deal by then. Wirfs was the 13th overall pick in 2020 out of Iowa and has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three seasons. He has started all 63 games that he's appeared in over his first four years in the league.
Seattle Seahawks linebacker Darrell Taylor stands out as a player possibly in line for a contract extension soon because his $3.1 million salary for the 2024 season is not guaranteed, and it's unclear how much the new coaching staff will value him. Taylor has flashed his ability with 21.5 sacks in his three seasons in the league, albeit without showing much consistency in 13 starts while providing shaky run defense. The 27-year-old former second-round pick (48th overall) in 2020 out of Tennessee has 91 tackles (67 solo), 22 tackles for loss, 34 QB hits, three pass breakups, five forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in 49 games for Seattle in his three seasons. He had a career-low 5.5 sacks in 2023, though, so he'll probably need to bounce back under the new coaching staff in 2024 for the Seahawks to consider extending his contract.
Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward is entering the final year of his current deal, and if he doesn't sign by the organization's self-imposed Sept. 8 deadline, the most-tenured player on the roster will hit free agency next year for the first time in his storied 14-year career. Pittsburgh wants to keep the 35-year-old, but he's coming off an injury-plagued year, and they'd rather address his contract in the offseason. Heyward wants more security and said he wants to play for three more years. He didn't show up for a portion of offseason workouts but returned for the final week of OTAs and minicamp. Heyward isn't optimistic a deal will get done, but he's been in a similar position before eventually signing before the season. He's coming off two groin surgeries over five months and is a shell of his former self as a pass-rusher.
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman began the offseason by essentially placing edge rusher Josh Sweat on the trade block in an apparent effort to reset the position group in terms of age and salary cap. The Eagles traded Haason Reddick to the Jets and restructured Sweat's contract to spread out his cap hit with $10 million guaranteed. Sweat will remain in Philly for an age-27 contract year, but it remains to be seen if he can perform well enough to earn a major contract with another team, or if he proves himself too valuable for the Eagles to let walk. The Eagles drafted Nolan Smith at No. 30 overall in 2023 and added Jalyx Hunt in the third round of this year's NFL draft. Sweat saw a dip in production last year but was still useful for Philly, registering 43 total tackles and 6.5 sacks while appearing in all 17 of the team's regular-season games.
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has been one of the best at his position in team history, but he could be nearing the end of the line with his deal set up to make it easier to release him after the 2024 season. Kamara is looking for more long-term security, which is why he walked out of the team facility before the final mandatory minicamp practice because he's unhappy with his current deal. His contract ranked below only Christian McCaffrey when he signed it in 2020, but four years later, Kamara isn't anywhere close to CMC. The 28-year-old has surpassed 1,000 scrimmage yards in each of the last seven seasons and remains versatile, but the Saints may be considering moving on as he heads into his age-29 season. His abilities as a pass-catcher have kept him afloat in PPR formats, but even in those leagues, fantasy managers should consider him more of an RB2 moving forward.
New England Patriots edge rusher Matthew Judon has felt underpaid as an arguably top-10 pass-rusher for over a year. Last year, Judon sat out of drills during training camp until the team moved money around to give him more guarantees. Despite suffering a season-ending biceps injury in Week 4 of 2023, it seems that Judon wants another tweak to his contract, which is set to expire at the end of this season. He'll be 32 years old this year and is coming off a serious injury, but he's also easily one of the best players on a rebuilding team. It will be interesting to see how new general manager Eliot Wolf handles the situation. Judon was in attendance for the team's mandatory minicamp in June and should return to the IDP fantasy radar in 2024 if he stays healthy. In 2022, he had 60 tackles and 15.5 sacks in 17 regular-season games.
Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Christian Darrisaw is eligible for a contract extension, and while the Vikings certainly want to keep him around for the long haul, the team is in no rush to do so. It remains to be seen if the two sides can find common ground with two seasons still remaining on Darrisaw's rookie contract. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah explained that extensions after three seasons of a rookie deal are hard to come by. The team and player must work through old money, new money and overall length. Darrisaw is now represented by super-agent Drew Rosenhaus, who has an exceptional relationship with the Vikings. The 25-year-old former 23rd overall pick in 2021 out of Virginia Tech should eventually get something done to stick around in Minnesota, but it might take some time. He's started in 39 of the 41 games he's appeared in over his first three years.
A contract situation to watch for the Los Angeles Rams as training camp begins in late July aside from quarterback Matthew Stafford's will be Jones'. He is entering the final year of his rookie deal and has solidified himself as a multi-year starter and leader on a defense that is now without Aaron Donald. General manager Les Snead said in March that the Rams would have Jones play on his final year instead of extending him early. However, with the Rams, that could always change. There is little depth behind Jones, who missed the football part of organized team activities with what head coach Sean McVay said was leg soreness. Jones was physically present for the rest of the offseason work. The 24-year-old finished as the No. 17 linebacker in IDP fantasy formats in 2023 with 75 solo tackles, 4.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, six QB hits and six pass breakups in 15 regular-season starts in his third year in the league.
Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater became eligible for a contract extension at the end of last season. The Chargers picked up his fifth-year option in May, meaning he is under contract through the 2025 season. Slater has become an elite tackle, and the price for that position is only going up. Lions right tackle Penei Sewell, drafted six spots ahead of Slater in the first round in 2021, signed for $28 million in average annual value earlier this offseason. It will be interested to see if the Bolts wait to see Slater play in the new offense under head coach Jim Harbaugh before they commit to him long-term. The 25-year-old former 13th overall pick in 2021 out of Northwestern will be even more important to LA's offense in 2024 as they look to become more of a physical, run-first unit under Harbaugh and new offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Former University of Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson, who was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in April, died in an automobile accident, according to his agent and former high-school coach. It's a terrible tragedy for the 24-year-old, who was just getting set to embark on his NFL career this fall after being taken in the fourth-round by Minnesota. "I'm at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree's family, friends, teammates and coaches," said head coach Kevin O'Connell. Not only did Jackson pass away, but also his former teammates Anthony Lytton Jr. and Isaiah Haze. It's just terrible news all around. RotoBaller extends its condolences to all family, friends, coaches and teammates of Jackson, Lytton and Haze.
