Overview

• In a Sports & Suits podcast interview this month, Johnson said he declined to play during the fourth quarter of a 41-degree Week 13 game against the Eagles to avoid risking his performance on icy legs.
• The Ravens suspended him for one game for conduct detrimental to the team and waived him days later after he opted not to return to practice during the bye week.
• Houston claimed Johnson off waivers, but he appeared in only one contest before mental disengagement over limited snaps led to his release after Week 18.
• Baltimore re-claimed him ahead of the playoffs but deemed him ineligible for postseason action, closing out his Ravens tenure before he entered free agency.
• National Weather Service data indicates that fall and winter temperatures in Cleveland average 4 to 6.5 degrees colder than Baltimore, renewing questions about Johnson’s comfort level in cold conditions.
