Former BC Safety John Johnson Not Franchised By LA Rams

The former Eagle could demand a hefty contract on

The LA Rams decided not to place a franchise tag on former Boston College safety John Johnson. If the Rams had decided to franchise Johnson they would have had to pay him around $11.4 million dollars next season. Because of their decision, Johnson will become a free agent. 

Johnson has gone from a middle round draft pick to one of the top safeties in the league, and a leader on a very solid defense. Last season for the Rams he had 75 tackles and an interception. He most likely will be one of the top defensive players available in free agency, and a top defensive back. 

Also in Eagles in the NFL news, running back Aaron Jones was not franchised by the Green Bay Packers. While Jones is not a BC graduate, this does impact AJ Dillon, who was drafted in the second round by the Packers in 2020. If Jones goes elsewhere, Dillon could be in line for more carries next season.
