Raiders tap veteran slot defender to anchor nickel in Johnson trade

The Las Vegas Raiders acquired former Bills All-Pro slot corner Taron Johnson for a 6th‑round pick (exact pick undisclosed) in exchange for a 7th‑round selection. Johnson, 29, brings extensive starting snaps and run-stopping ability to anchor Las Vegas’s nickel defense, though he shifted to a nickel‑linebacker role in 2025 and had a down year. The deal includes about $8.6M cap hit in 2026 and $10M in 2027 with no dead money, signaling Vegas’s hope that his veteran presence can help a rebuilding secondary.
