54th overall pick out of Kentucky in 2019


quote:

FA DB Lonnie Johnson Jr. is signing a one-year deal with the #Saints, sources tell @theScore.

In seven starts for the #Texans in 2021, Johnson had 3 INTs and 6 PBUs. The versatile CB/Safety is a former 2nd-round pick, who I’m told had three different suitors in free agency.


quote:

Lonnie Johnson is an interesting player in that he has played wide corner, in the slot and free safety.

He gives the Saints another defensive back who can do a little bit of everything. They always find a way to make use of those players.


Only played 20% of the defensive snaps with TEN last season. Played over 50% in the three previous seasons with HOU

Seems like a depth piece but his versatility fits Allen’s scheme well

This might spell the end of PJ Williams in New Orleans. I’d still like to have him back on a vet minimum deal though.

I want to say he's signed a one year deal like three or four years in a row now?

This. Seems like he and the Saints are on the same page with that. He signs a one year deal LATE every offseason it seems like. I’d imagine it will be the same this year.

His versatility is valuable.
