When the Cleveland Browns started their off-season program on Monday, running back Duke Johnson was one of the players who did not show up to the team’s facility.
Over the past two months, Johnson’s name has been brought up in many trade rumors. After the Browns signed Kareem Hunt in February, Johnson was put on the team’s chopping block. With Hunt and Nick Chubb on the roster, it will be hard for Johnson to play consistent snaps next season.
Because of his name being floated in trade talks, Johnson decided to not participate in the first phase of the Browns’ off-season program.
