Johnson, who is now in the final year of his rookie contract, was not present for the Steelers first set of OTA practices last week. His absence of him last week led to speculation that he was boycotting OTAs this offseason because of him being unhappy with his contract situation and thus wanting an extension.<\/p>\n

With Johnson now at OTAs, it will be interesting to see if he talks to the media these next few days. Assuming that happens, expect Johnson to be asked about his absence of him last week and his thoughts of him on his current contract situation of him.<\/p>\n

Johnson is scheduled to earn $ 2.79 million in 2022 as a result of him qualifying for a raise in base salary due to him hitting Proven Performance Escalator stipulations in his first three seasons.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Johnson said on Tuesday that he’ll talk to the media next week. That’s probably a smart move on his part of him, really, with all the rampant yellow journalism in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
