Texans | David Johnson restructures contract

Houston Texans RB David Johnson restructured his deal Tuesday, March 2, and will receive $4.25 million guaranteed out of a maximum contract value of $6 million.

Footballguys View: A decent move for the veteran back here. His cash total is lower now, but Johnson’s previous guaranteed money was $2.1 million. Johnson could have a larger role in 2021 with Duke Johnson released. We’ll see if Deshaun Watson stays at quarterback, but this team should use David Johnson in a three-down role. That makes him a RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in 2021.
