The Cleveland Browns and running back D’Ernest Johnson reached an agreement on a new contract Saturday.
It is a one-year deal worth up to $2.43 million with $900,000 in guaranteed money for Johnson, according to cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot. The agreement also lowers Johnson’s salary cap number.
#Browns and RB D'Ernest Johnson agree on a one-year deal worth up to $2.43 million if he reaches his incentives. Same as RFA tender, but this gives him $900K guaranteed and lowers the cap number https://t.co/7tPJzU6YdB

The Browns placed a right of first refusal tender on Johnson in March, which allowed Johnson to seek a better deal in free agency while also allowing the Browns to match any offer.
