Paris Johnson Aims for $40M Tackle Status

Despite the Cardinals recently exercising his $19 million option through 2027, Johnson has set his sights on becoming one of the highest-paid offensive linemen in the NFL. He told the PHNX Cardinals podcast that his mindset is to perform like a $40 million player, evaluating his own tape with that standard in mind.

Currently, the top-paid left tackle is Laremy Tunsil with an average annual salary just over $30 million. Johnson's self-imposed standard reflects his confidence in his abilities, as he prepares to face pass rushers who are making comparable salaries themselves. xsportfeed.life
