Browns trade RB Johnson to Texans for '20 pick

The Cleveland Browns traded running back Duke Johnson Jr. to the Houston Texans on Thursday for an undisclosed 2020 draft pick.

The move comes after the Texans waived running back D'Onta Foreman earlier this week. Foreman was later claimed off waivers by the Colts.

Johnson had been seeking a trade this offseason and had said there was nothing the team could do to change his mind.

In June 2018, Johnson signed a three-year, $15.6 million extension with the Browns. He is under contract through the 2021 season.

A third-round draft choice of the Browns in 2015, Johnson has rushed for 1,286 yards over four seasons.
