Free agent guard Zion Johnson and the Cleveland Browns reached agreement Monday on a three-year, $49.5 million deal that includes $32.4 million guaranteed, agents Alan Herman and Jared Fox told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Johnson is the second major addition to the Browns’ offensive line this offseason. Last week, the Browns agreed to a trade with the Houston Texans to acquire tackle Tytus Howard.
The Browns also made a move on defense, agreeing to a two-year contract with linebacker Quincy Williams, sources told ESPN.
Williams, 29, finished last season as the New York Jets’ longest-tenured defensive player, a distinction he inherited from his younger brother, Quinnen Williams, who was drafted in 2017 and traded to the Dallas Cowboys last November.
Williams was denied a contract extension before last season and, like almost every player on the Jets’ defense, his play slipped below its usual standard.
