Lonnie Johnson Jr. has had a rough year, and there could be changes coming.
One of the Houston Texans that struggled the most last year, Lonnie Johnson Jr., didn’t exactly have the season an NFL player would want. Of course, it didn’t help that the team’s fans would pile onto him via Twitter when Johnson Struggled.
So after the Texans completed the 2022 NFL Draft, Johnson posted this cryptic video to his Twitter account. It seems like Johnson is saying goodbye. But as country music legend Chris Cagle once asked, “What kinda gone are we talking ’bout here?
This could mean that Johnson Jr. is getting traded or was informed that he could be cut with a June 1st designation. Or could he be taking time off, similar to how Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley did (hopefully, the end result isn’t gambling)?
Before y’all get to talking krazy on this app I asked for this myself thank you @HoustonTexans for the opportunity this isn’t a farewell this is more like see ya soon ‼️ pic.twitter.com/B5fk45oLcq

Lonnie Johnson would join former secondary players in leaving the Houston Texans.
First, it was Tyrann Mathieu (who is now in New Orleans). Then Bradley Roby, followed by Justin Reid. The exodus of starting-quality secondary players from Houston is either a sign of Nick Caserio’s regime genuinely taking over or a sign that something is wrong that we don’t know about.
Is it something that has to do with the team’s defensive backs coach, Dino Vasso? That would be a stretch, considering he’s only been here one year and helped the Philadelphia Eagles to their Super Bowl LII title.
We’ll see what happens with Johnson regarding his roster spot on the team. Only time will tell us what goes on.
