Jeron Johnson to Redskins: Latest Contract Details, Comments and Reaction

Strong safety Jeron Johnson may not have been a marquee star in the Legion of Boom secondary for the Seattle Seahawks during his four years in the Pacific Northwest, but he will have a chance to make a name for himself with the Washington Redskins.  

Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo reported the move and the financial terms of the deal, while Johnson also confirmed he has signed with a new team:

Johnson appeared in 15 games for the Seahawks in the 2014 season, but he only tallied one pass defended. He also doesn’t have a single interception in his career, although he did notch a forced fumble during the 2012 season.

Still, Johnson is only 26 years old and theoretically has a number of productive years ahead of him. He should be relatively fresh with only 46 games played in his career, and he practiced and learned from some of the best in the game during his time in Seattle with Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.    

The Johnson signing may not make as many headlines as some of the other free-agency moves from this offseason, but he has championship pedigree and some prime years ahead of him.

He also can play some special teams and is a versatile option in the secondary, making this a logical signing for Washington.
