Raiders Acquire Veteran Cornerback Taron Johnson via Trade

The Las Vegas Raiders have bolstered their secondary by trading for veteran cornerback Taron Johnson from the Buffalo Bills. In the deal, Las Vegas sends a sixth-round pick to Buffalo while receiving Johnson and a seventh-round selection. Johnson, an eight-year veteran and former All-Pro, will step in as the Raiders' starting slot cornerback. The team will take on his $8.6 million contract for the 2026 season as they look to upgrade a defense that struggled with depth last year.
