Reports: Raiders trade for Bills CB Taron Johnson
The Las Vegas Raiders are acquiring veteran cornerback Taron Johnson and a seventh-round pick from the Buffalo Bills for a sixth-round pick in this year's draft, according to multiple reports on Sunday night.
The Bills announced on Friday that Johnson, 29, was going to be released, reportedly as an apparent salary-cap casualty for a savings of $1.9 million. Instead, Buffalo is trading Johnson and a late draft pick -- it has two in the seventh (from the Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets) -- for a sixth-rounder.
