I wonder what they plan with Johnson longer-term since he played both CB and FS at BC. If they're really focused on re-signing Joyner (And Alexander?) then maybe Johnson ends up as a CB for 2018. I think his ability to get on the field this year largely depends on if they keep Joyner at FS exclusively (with Robey-Coleman in the slot) or if Joyner gets some reps at CB too- where Johnson could sub in at FS. Just my thinking at this point.
I agree about Jordan. I liked him when I saw him come in for Gaines in the New England game, get repeatedly targeted by Brady vs. Malcolm Mitchell, and give up some catches but nothing big and never out of place. He's probably their 5th CB to start the year but maybe elevates to 4th depending on Gaines.
Jordan had a great pre-season last year.
BTW on Joyner and Alexander, I don't think they can keep both. That's too many 2nd contract guys against the cap, I think. They already have Barron and Quinn and Brockers signed, and will sign Donald and Tree. I don't see them adding
2 safeties to that list. And I like them both.

I agree somewhat with you. I'm leaning towards them keeping one of Joyner and Alexander too. I think they CAN keep both but will choose not to.
I also suspect Barron may be a prime candidate to be cut after this season. We'll see how he does...
