LONNIE JOHNSON JOINS THE CHIEFS

The Kansas City Chiefs acquired cornerback/safety Lonnie Johnson from the Houston Texans for a seventh-round draft pick in 2024.

What does it give the Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs have lost a few defensive backs this off-season, so the versatile Johnson could be a benefit to them in 2022. He can play both corner and safety, so expect to see Johnson in nickel packages for KC.

What does it give the Houston Texans
The Texans overhauled their secondary this off-season, culminating with a 2022 draft with a strong emphasis on defensive backs early on. Therefore, Johnson became somewhat expendable.

Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, as Johnson is not a recommendable option in IDP leagues. Pass.
