Around this time last year, the Los Angeles Rams were facing a difficult decision in regards to Trumaine Johnson, and whether it would be worth bringing the cornerback on board for another season with the team after using the franchise tag in each of the previous two seasons.
For obvious reasons, the Rams knew how ridiculous it would be to use the tag for a third year in a row since the lost alone would be more than the team could afford, but also they knew Johnson would be seeking a hefty contract, meaning to keep him around, it would be expensive.
