Chiefs sign Derrick Johnson to three-year deal
Kansas City Chiefs re-signed inside linebacker Derrick Johnson to a three-year, $21 million contract.
What It Means:
Johnson had a bounce-back year after missing most of 2014 to Achilles surgery. He'll remain with the only organization for which he's ever played. The $7 million average annual value places Johnson in the top 12 among inside linebackers. Johnson's new deal keeps him signed through 2018, his age-36 season, meaning he's likely to end his career in Kansas City.
Johnson led the Chiefs with 116 tackles and four sacks in 2015. The Chiefs tied with three other teams for second in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play last year.
