Las Vegas Raiders Trade for Buffalo Bills CB Taron Johnson
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.
