Raiders Acquiring Cornerback Taron Johnson in Trade with Bills, AP Source Says
Taron Johnson, 29, brings veteran experience and leadership to the Raiders' secondary after starting 87 games and earning All-Pro honors in 2023.
- On March 8, 2026, the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to acquire Taron Johnson from the Buffalo Bills, sending a sixth-round pick and receiving a seventh-round pick in return.
- Because the team is shifting to a 3-4 under Jim Leonhard, the Bills announced Friday they planned to release Johnson, saving $1.9 million.
- Taron Johnson, 29, has built a notable Bills career with 572 tackles, six interceptions, eight forced fumbles, 48 pass breakups, 87 starts and second-team All-Pro honors in 2023.
- After last season's struggles at cornerback, the Raiders added Johnson to help address a thin group that included Kyu Blu Kelly and Darien Porter, with discussions involving John Spytek.
- Because Taron Johnson wasn't placed on the waiver wire, Buffalo retained a sixth-round pick it lacked, but the trade awaits the first day of the league's new year on Wednesday and a physical.
