Raiders released DB Jaquan Johnson.
Johnson was signed to a one-year deal by the Raiders earlier this offseason but won’t be on the 53-man roster at the conclusion of cut-down day. The veteran safety has appeared in 60 games through four seasons with the Bills and could still serve as valuable depth to a secondary while also playing special teams.
Raiders signed S Jaquan Johnson, formerly of the Bills, to a one-year contract.
Johnson was a sixth-round draft pick of the Bills in 2019 and has played in 60 games through four seasons. With just four career starts under his belt, Johnson will likely serve as additional depth in the Raiders' secondary while also contributing on special teams.
Johnson led the Bills in tackles during Thursday's win over the Colts, posting nine total stops, including eight solo and one tackle for a loss.
The Bills selected Johnson in the sixth round in April, so he faces a bit of a challenge to make the final roster. The top three safety spots appear set between starters Jordan Poyer and Michael Hyde and veteran Kurt Coleman, so it'll be between Johnson, Dean Marlowe and Abraham Wallace for one or two spots to round out the position. Thursday's outing certainly helps Johnson's cause.
