Paris Johnson: Mindset is to be a $40 million man

Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson says his mindset is to be a $40 million man, measuring himself against that standard despite current tackle market topping out around $30 million.

Paris Johnson, who recently had his $19 million option exercised through 2027, explained his $40 million mindset isn't about the money but about performance. "When I watch tape, when I go to practice and when I play in a game, my mindset is to be the $40 million man," Johnson said during a PHNX Cardinals podcast appearance.

Johnson's current standard exceeds the market, with Commanders tackle Laremy Tunsil currently topping the market at just over $30 million annually. "When I watch my tape, I ask myself, 'Would you pay this guy $40 million?' That's how I watch my tape. That's how I go out to practice. That's how I play," Johnson explained. orlando-books.blog
