Johnson played last season with the San Francisco 49ers, catching 35 passes for 435 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games.

He became expendable when the 49ers agreed to a five-year, $40 million deal with former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith.

Johnson was acquired by San Francisco from the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a fourth-round pick in May 2014. He spent his first NFL six seasons with Buffalo.
