The Buffalo Bills have parted ways with long-time favorite Taron Johnson, per Jeremy Fowler. The move is not unexpected, as Jim Leonhard brings a new defense to the Bills in 2026. Still, Johnson was one of the most prolific Buffalo defenders over the last 8 seasons, and will be sorely missed by fans and coaches alike.
The Bills are releasing corner Taron Johnson after eight seasons together, per source.
