4. Will Duke Johnson be around in 2019?

As previously mentioned, Duke Johnson has requested a trade from the Browns after the signing of Hunt and a decreased workload last season. Johnson cannot be blamed as he sees the writing on the wall and wants to go somewhere where he will see the field more often than he did in Cleveland a year ago.

In more recent news, Johnson fired his former agent and hired Drew Rosenhaus to represent him moving forward. Rosenhaus has a knack for getting players away from Cleveland, and it seems like Johnson could be traded at any point moving forward.

However, the Browns have stated that they are in no hurry to move him and see him as an asset to this team; will Johnson be moved, and if now will he become a locker room hazard? The market for running backs is non-existent, and the Browns are not going to take the first offer they see.

Johnson was the best player on two historically bad teams, but now that the Browns actually have talent to build around on their roster, he is becoming overshadowed. The standoff between the Browns and Johnson continues to be a situation to monitor as training camp rolls nearer.
