Details are interesting also.. According to this article, Johnson turned down more cash to sign with Cleveland - due to the strength of the team culture.

I'm sure this will stop the unsourced assertions that OBJ is "destroying the culture" until.. next Monday.

For the love of dog, don't conjure up that moron poster... ?

Hard not to like what the Browns have done for the secondary. Two really solid, smart pickups.

While I wait until he has actually signed the contract, I will say as a SoCal guy who has seen every Rams game, he will be an immediate impact player. 

And he plays every week. I hate losing Mitchell, but we hit it big with Johnson.

Signing Johnson is awesome.

He's a blue chipper on and off the field....

Here is our depth chart, before the events of the last day or so:

LCB 21 Ward, Denzel 18/1 28 Johnson, Kevin U/Buf 36 Stewart Jr., MJ W/TB 25 Allen, Brian P/Cin 38 Green, AJ CF20
SS 33 Harrison, Ronnie T/Jax 42 Joseph, Karl U/LV 29 Redwine, Sheldrick 19/4 41 Meander, Montrel CF18    
FS 23 SENDEJO, ANDREW U/Min 22 Delpit, Grant 20/2 35 Moffatt, Jovante CF20 48 Benton, Elijah CF20    
RCB 26 Williams, Greedy 19/2 39 Mitchell, Terrance U/KC 34 Jackson, Robert SF18 20 Thomas, Tavierre W/Arz

Depth Charts do not list the situation if a 4-2-5 is run. 

Can we assume that Delpit would supplant Sendejo....and that  Johnson would be sort of in the middle between  SS and FS? 

As Gumby said Sendejo is going to get sent packing- he was pretty terrible.

Safety John Johnson III turned down ‘significantly more money’ from another team to sign with the Browns, reps say - cleveland.com

His agents said Johnson really wanted to play for the Browns and can’t wait to get started. He loves the team that Browns GM Andrew Berry has assembled, and felt it was the perfect fit.

One is an accident...

Two is a coincidence...

That's one... here's to a trend!

Sayonara Sendejo!  JJ played over 1000 snaps with a combined 105 tackles...

Good Start, Andrew Berry !

Browns safeties allowed 12 passing TDs last year when they were the nearest defender in coverage, most in the NFL. John Johnson's 61 targets as the nearest defender in coverage was 3rd-most this season among safeties. And he allowed only 1 TD, via @NextGenStats @ESPNStatsInfo

Both. 

Agree... we should have our versatile pairing now. JJ played both Safeties for LAR during his 4-years there.

That said I gotta think a fully recovered Delpit gets the lion's share of any single-high duty due to his length and speed advantages.

I believe we will get our edge in free agency, sign/retain 2-3 more, & have a real shot at going BPA in the draft. That is what I hope for. Can anyone recall the Browns drafting for BPA since the Paul Brown days? I can't.

hope ur right

From what I can tell, Joe Wood is looking at using a 3 safety “dime defense”.

Note that this also does in a way address LB.. Taki is one starter and we only "need" one other who may be Phillips.  Wouldn't hurt to resign Goodson of course.

Both.  

Think a younger version of Malcolm Jenkins.  The dude really does a bit of it all - he can run, cover, hit.  A very well rounded DB.
