Browns bolster O-line, reach deal with guard Zion Johnson
"Johnson is the second major addition to the Browns' offensive line this offseason. Last week the Browns agreed to a trade with the Houston Texans to acquire offensive tackle Tytus Howard."
"Johnson was the Los Angeles Chargers' most durable player in 2025, playing 100% of the team's snaps except for Week 18 when coach Jim Harbaugh benched most starters. He also had the best year of his career, evolving into one of the league's best run blockers."
"Johnson finished the season ranked second in run block win rate (79.3%). Still, Johnson struggles in pass blocking, often looking lost on defensive line stunts. He ranked as the fifth-worst guard in pass block win rate (87.4%)."
Zion Johnson agreed to a three-year, $49.5 million deal with the Cleveland Browns, featuring $32.4 million guaranteed. This marks the Browns' second significant offensive line acquisition, following their trade for tackle Tytus Howard. Johnson played 100% of the Chargers' snaps in 2025 except Week 18, establishing himself as one of the league's premier run blockers with a 79.3% run block win rate, ranking second. However, he struggles in pass protection, ranking fifth-worst among guards with an 87.4% pass block win rate. The 2022 first-round pick recorded a career-low three penalties last season.
