if you think he has proven he deserves a middle level contract you are delusional. The guy has one play on his highlight video- the guy is a sleeper, who appears to be getting minimal interested- there is no reason to pay him $3 or $4 million a year.

Rahim Moore got $ 4 million a year- Patrick Chung got $2.7 million

WalterFootball.com: 2015 NFL Free Agents - Safeties

Given all that was said back and forth, here is the breakdown of JJ's contract:

Washington Redskins contract breakdown: Jeron Johnson - ESPN

Here’s a breakdown of his deal:

2015

Base salary: $800,000, not guaranteed.

Cap hit:$1.225 million.

Note: If the Redskins really don’t like what they have in Johnson, it won’t be hard to get out of the deal. They could cut him in camp and only be out the $350,000 bonus. Also, he will receive $15,625 every game he’s on the 46-man roster up to $250,000. He also has $900,000 in not-likely-to-be-earned incentives.

2016

Base salary: $850,000, not guaranteed.

Cap hit: $1.275 million.

Note: If he’s released next offseason the Redskins would save $1.1 million on the salary cap with $175,000 in dead money. As in 2015, he will receive $15,625 for every game he’s on the 46-man roster, with a maximum value of $250,000. And he still has up to $900,000 in not-likely-to-be-earned incentives.

Seems like we got the one we wanted and pretty close to the cap price you wanted.

Agreed. Irrefutable take on the actual cost was pretty much spot on.

Have to admit I found the breakdown pleasantly surprising. Happy to admit I wrong on this one. Hope I 'm not wrong on the talent aspect.

i would rather roll the dice on J Johnson and possibly catch lightning in a bottle than take a shot on any of the remaining safties available not named Ron Parker and/or Landon Collins. I think he might surprise some folks and i trust SM knows what he is doing by trying to get him here. Worse case scenario he elevates our ST play and is a backup safety... both of which is badly needed as well.

We can use players like this. We cannot just over pay him, I agree on that. Give him a modest deal or a 3-4 year deal with pay escalators based on his play and performance.

exactly.. nobody is saying give J Johnson a 5-6 Mil a year contract. but a 3-4 Mil a year kr so contract is reasonable IF you think and expect him to be a possible starter. Lets be real here... if there is competetion for his or anyone elses services we desire sometimes you just may have to overpay a bit to obtain a player. i mean if all things and pay are equal would you come to the Skins if the Pats, Seahawks, Packers, Steelers or Colts were offering you comparable money?

Great post, agree

There is nothing given to the secondary, just like the online. Mosses may develop but it doesn't mean I wouldn't draft a tackle in rounds 1-2 in the draft.

[JoeRedskin]

Bottom line, given the intelligence of his moves so far, if Scot McC signs him, I will be good with it.

what McC is doing with our defense really reminds me of the Seahawks, he is getting a big mean front seven that will get after the passer without blitzing and with the addition of Culliver and having Breeland both of whom have and real attitude and are not afraid to hit and get dirty at the corner spot, now all we need are some decent safeties and our defense is going from a major liability to a major strength.

Let Chip Kelly build his small fast offense it isn't going to matter much since Bradford is going to be on his ass constantly and their receivers and corners are going to be so beat up from constant bump and run and press coverage that they will be useless. In dallas tony and his bad back will not hold up long and we know Breeland can handle Dez. I think we will be a lot more competitive next year and not a look over game for anyone.

[mrreddman]

it does seem like SM is building our D alot like the Seahawks...but i remember hearing that our new DC wants to play mostly zone coverage with our DBs which doesnt appear to be their strong suit. I just hope we dont have our DBs lined up 10 yards off the line of scrimmage on 3rd and 2 like we did almost everytime last year in those situations.

I don't see anything in J. Johnson's NFL history to suggest that he would help solve our starting safety problems. I'm fine with the idea of signing him to a modest contract for depth and ST help. I do like that the Skins are looking at secondary players who are good tacklers.

Perhaps the Skins should explore a trade for a safety.

Maybe not if you look just at a stats list. If you look at what people paid to know stuff are saying, however, there is plenty out there to suggest he can be a solid NFL starter.

The comments of personnel people that you posted were very positive. We'll see what happens.

I didn't see it posted, but keim reported yesterday late afternoon jeron Johnson is coming in for a visit.
