Despite the Cardinals exercising his $19 million option through 2027, Johnson has publicly stated his goal to reach the $40 million annual salary mark for left tackles. This would significantly surpass the current market rate, with Commanders tackle Laremy Tunsil leading at just over $30 million per year.
Johnson clarified his mindset during a recent podcast appearance, explaining that he evaluates his performance by asking whether he's worth that $40 million when watching tape and during practice. 'That's how I watch my tape. That's how I go out to practice. That's how I play,' Johnson said, emphasizing that he's measuring himself against the elite players he faces who are already making top dollar. sportbet.rodeo
