Almost immediately after it was reported that the Cleveland Browns would be releasing talented safety John Johnson III, the Los Angeles Chargers came to mind as an ideal next landing spot for him. Following the sudden retirement of Nasir Adderley, there is an open spot at safety on LA's squad and Johnson has been someone fans have been vouching for.

He has clear ties with the Chargers' coaching staff as their head coach Brandon Stanley worked with Johnson when they were both a part of the Rams back in the 2020 season. The 27-year-old has had solid production over the past few years but shouldn't command too big of a contract during negations.

However, those Chargers fans that are sitting tight waiting for the front office to add Johnson will get very excited when taking a look at his recent Twitter activity. He has liked and engaged with a couple of tweets that all but confirm his mutual interest in suiting up for the Bolts in 2023.

It has been specifically edit that shows how Johnson would look in the chargers' powder blue should the deal get done that has the fanbase convinced he is on the way.

Johnson also liked a tweet posted by LA's DE Sebastian Joseph-Day that shows his support for the organization adding the former Cleveland Brown.

While all of this is just noise and speculation right now, I would confidently say that there is not a team out there right now that has a better chance of signing Johnson than the Los Angeles Chargers. For the man himself to be engaging with posts that tease his signing is a clear indication that LA is where he wants to be.

We'll be sure to keep you guys updated on everything we know surrounding Johnson's free agency decision as we know more.
