However, Johnson’s burgeoning career derailed in 2017. The tailback dislocated his wrist in Week 1 of the season and did not return until 2018. He inked a $39 million contract extension with Arizona ahead of the ’18 campaign but did not see it through.
In one of the more lopsided trades in recent NFL history, Johnson was shipped to Houston in the 2020 offseason in exchange for star wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Johnson went with second- and fourth-round picks to the Texans in exchange for Hopkins and a fourth-round pick. The swap, executed by then-coach and general manager Bill O’Brien, was panned, and Johnson’s production in Houston didn’t help matters.
He spent just two years with the Texans, totaling 1,458 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns in 25 games played. (Hopkins, meanwhile, spent three seasons in Arizona, hauling in 221 passes for 2,696 yards and 17 scores in 35 games played.) Johnson closed out his career in 2022, logging 16 touches with the Saints.
Johnson leaves football with 4,071 rushing yards and 39 rushing scores on 1,007 attempts, plus 2,805 receiving yards and 18 receiving TDs on 277 receptions.
