Cardinals tackle Paris Johnson seeks extension ahead of training camp

Arizona Cardinals tackle Paris Johnson is in talks for a potential contract extension as the start of training camp approaches next month. Johnson, who has expressed a desire for a deal averaging $40 million per year, is currently under contract through 2027 after the team exercised his fifth-year option in April. Although he remains focused on his on-field performance, there is speculation that the Cardinals may finalize an extension soon to avoid escalating costs if he plays well. The team has historically made significant contract decisions around training camp.
