Raiders’ Taron Johnson Skips Voluntary Workouts Over Contract Guarantees

Mandatory minicamp on June 6 puts pressure on both sides to settle.

Overview

  • Johnson, whose absence was reported Saturday, has skipped voluntary workouts to seek more guaranteed money on his deal.
  • The veteran slot corner arrived from Buffalo in a March 8 late‑round pick swap after the Bills planned to move on.
  • His contract has about $18 million in base salary across 2026 and 2027 with only $1.175 million left guaranteed this year.
  • Mandatory minicamp starts June 6, and an unexcused absence could lead to team fines under NFL rules.
  • He has missed nine games since 2024 and ranked 75th among 112 corners by Pro Football Focus in 2025, which may affect his bargaining power.
