At one time, Charles Johnson looked like he could have been a diamond in the rough for the Minnesota Vikings. After joining the team from the Browns practice squad, he showed flashes of brilliance and put up some solid numbers.
For 2017, Johnson was set to be a restricted free agent, where the team could have offered him a tender sheet to keep him on the roster for the upcoming season. However, the team declined that option and now the wide receiver is free to sign with any team he desires.
Chris Tomasson on Twitter gave the news that Charles Johnson would become an unrestricted free agent after not receiving a tender by the Vikings.
