John Johnson III doesn’t even have a team right now and he’s already been suspended by the NFL for the first three weeks of 2025. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Johnson’s suspension became official on Wednesday. He remains a free agent after spending a short period of time with the Rams in 2024.
Pelissero didn’t elaborate on the suspension.
Johnson was drafted by the Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft out of Boston College. He spent four seasons with the Rams, then signed a free agent contract with the Browns in 2021. After two seasons in Cleveland, Johnson returned to the Rams in 2023 and played all 17 games for L.A., making two interceptions. Johnson appeared in two games in 2024 and added another interception to his tally, a career total of 15.
Johnson is looking for a team to give him a chance at a ninth season, but this suspension could hurt his chances.
