Cardinals Sign Will Johnson, Complete Draft Class

Arizona Cardinals second-round pick Will Johnson has signed a four-year rookie contract, completing the team's 2025 draft class signings. Johnson, a two-time All-American cornerback from Michigan, overcame a hamstring injury during offseason workouts and is expected to compete for a starting role as training camp opens. His signing occurred amid widespread delays for second-round picks, influenced by a historic fully guaranteed contract for Texans' Jayden Higgins. With Johnson under contract, only two 2025 NFL draft picks remain unsigned: Bengals' Shemar Stewart, who is in a contract dispute, and Browns' Quinshon Judkins, who is dealing with legal issues. Johnson is anticipated to strengthen a young Cardinals secondary as the team prepares for the upcoming season.
