What It Means:

Head coach Sean McVay said he was "not really sure where" Johnson was. The corner is scheduled to make $16.742 million this season after being tagged for the second year in a row, but this absence could be related to his desire for a long-term extension. The Rams offered him in trades before the draft, too, so Johnson likely isn't giving any discounts.

The Rams were 18th in opponent-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play in 2016.
