Cornerback Trumaine Johnson says he's 'glad to be a Ram'
Alden Gonzalez
ESPN Staff Writer
The draft is now less than two days away, and it sounds like the Los Angeles Rams are pretty much done shopping high-priced cornerback Trumaine Johnson.
A contract extension appears to be higher on their list of priorities.
"Right now, I think we're more into OTAs and let's see if we can get something done by the end of this thing," Rams general manager Les Snead told reporters during a press conference on Tuesday, the start of the Rams' voluntary veteran minicamp. "That's where we're at right now."
Johnson, who replaced Janoris Jenkins as the primary corner last year, is playing under his second consecutive franchise tag, one that will guarantee him a one-year, $16.74 million contract for 2017.
Signing Johnson to an extension would reduce his cap hit for 2017, because he may sacrifice immediate dollars for long-term security and because the Rams would be able to pro-rate his signing bonus through the length of his new deal.
