Duke Johnson has had himself an interesting offseason, to say the least. The Cleveland Browns backup running back heard rumors of his name being mentioned in trade talk and also saw the front office add a high-profile running back in Kareem Hunt in free agency.
While Hunt is suspended for the first eight games, his eventual return to the field could be detrimental to Johnson’s touches, especially considering Nick Chubb is also on the roster. With all that going on, Johnson decided to stay away from the voluntary workouts and asked to be traded.
