Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane is making significant changes to the team’s roster in order to comply with the salary cap. He cut several longtime veterans before free agency, showing his serious approach. Despite this, standout defensive player Taron Johnson is staying with the team. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Johnson signed a three-year contract extension, making him the highest-paid nickel back in the NFL until 2027. The deal is worth $31 million, confirmed by his agent. Johnson has been with the Bills since he was drafted in 2018, and he had an impressive season in 2021, starting all games and contributing significantly to the team’s defense.
