The Cleveland Browns are getting a star safety in a cap-friendly deal

On Wednesday, when it becomes official that the Cleveland Browns are signing John Johnson III as a free agent, the Browns have a star safety without a huge salary cap impact in 2021.

You might recall that Johnson was the guy who broke our hearts in Week 3 of 2019 with a fourth-down interception in the end zone to preserve a Rams 20-13 victory at FirstEnergy Stadium.
