Browns Sign Former First-Round Guard Zion Johnson to Three-Year Deal

The Browns signed former Chargers guard Zion Johnson to a three-year, $49.5 million contract with $32.39 million guaranteed. Johnson, 26, brings durability and strong run-blocking skills, having recorded a 79.3% run block win rate in 2025. However, concerns persist regarding his pass protection, as he ranked among the league's lowest in pass block win rate last season. Cleveland hopes he can develop into a cornerstone of their offensive line through 2028.
