Taron Johnson not attending Voluntary workouts with Raiders

[Albany,n.y.]

https://www.silverandblackpride.com/las-vegas-raiders-news/130568/raiders-cb-taron-johnson-is-looking-for-a-new-contract

 

Johnson is turning 30 years old in July and has two years left on his deal. However, none of the remaining years are guaranteed, leaving him vulnerable to being released by The Raiders. This has led Johnson to want a new deal with guarantees to make him feel secure with the Raiders. He has been absent from voluntary workouts, and Vincent Bonsignore of the California post reported that his contract is the reason he hasn’t been with the football team.

Voluntary workouts btw.    He doesn’t have to be there.

I’m sure he’s serious about wanting a contract adjustment but holding out on voluntary workouts is a stretch

This shouldn’t be surprising. Taron is a veteran player going from an elite team to the team that just picked first. He is right to want stability. Money has to be priority 1 and that’s especially true in this particular situation.

Beane is the wizard. He knew this would happen so traded him.

Yeah, the Raiders a a bad team that just picked #1 overall.  Taron just came from a perennial Super Bowl contender and has leadership and big game experience. If the Raiders hope to turn things around, this is the kind of guy they need to toss a bone to. Guys like Johnson can help reshape a culture.

Honestly he's justified IMO

And if I didn’t have guaranteed money? I’d never show for anything voluntary where I could break. Totally rational behavior. 

[Patrick Duffy]

Lol, damn totally forgot he wasn't with the Bills anymore.

Ty Johnson is a heckuva player.

 

Raiders are making a huge mistake!!

[H2o]

Meh, voluntary workouts at this point. If he doesn't show up for the mandatory camps then it's a holdout. I imagine the Raiders will throw him some gtd $$$ for 2026, but not 2027.

When the Raiders cut him in December do we sign him?

I thought we entered the era of shopping for Bronco's castoffs...

I don’t know. 
You only get one chance to make a first impression. 
He’s got to learn a new system and new teammates. 
 

I think it would be smart to be there for voluntary OTA. 
 

Show that you’re a hardworking team guy. 
 

Then hed have some leverage in negotiations. As I recall, his contract was too rich, and Bills were going to cut him.  So maybe he should negotiate a pay cut for a guarantee
