Austin Johnson, a defensive lineman, is currently searching for a new team and has been traveling across the country to meet with various teams. Recently, he had a meeting with the Bills before heading to Arizona to meet with the Cardinals. It was reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN that Johnson will be meeting with the Cardinals on Friday.
Johnson played for the Chargers last season and had an impressive stat line of 46 tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two passes defensed. Throughout his eight-year NFL career, Johnson has also played for the Giants and Titans. He has been highly sought after due to his talent and experience on the field.
The Cardinals have been active in free agency this month, signing defensive linemen Bilal Nichols, Justin Jones, Khyiris Tonga and re-signed L.J. Collier. Bringing in Johnson would result in a significant overhaul of their defensive line unit heading into the 2024 season.
The addition of Johnson to the Cardinals’ defense could greatly benefit their overall performance on the field and give them a competitive edge in their division. It will be interesting to see how he fits into their existing roster and if he can help them achieve their goals for next season.
Overall, Johnson’s search for a new team is ongoing and it remains to be seen where he will end up next season. However one thing is certain that his talent and experience make him highly sought after by many teams across league
