Bills Releasing Nickel Cornerback Taron Johnson

The Buffalo Bills are releasing starting nickel cornerback Taron Johnson after eight seasons with the team. The move will save the Bills $8.76 million in available cash for the 2026 season. Johnson, who became an All-Pro in 2023 and started 87 games for the franchise, has been a defensive cornerstone for the team. The decision is part of a broader effort by the Bills to get under the salary cap before the new league year begins.
