Johnson, 27, was the former leader of the Chiefs’ defense but fell out of favor last season, starting just three games and compiling a career-low 37 tackles. He did begin to see more time late in the year, though, and returned two interceptions for touchdowns in a Week 17 win over the Denver Broncos. By keeping him in the Chiefs jersey, the team expects Johnson to be in the running for a starting spot next to Demorrio Williams in the 2010 season.
Along with Johnson, offensive lineman Ikechuku Ndukwe also signed restricted free agent tender with the Chiefs. Since being acquired from the Miami Dolphins before the 2009 season, Ndukwe has been used by the Chiefs as a rotational player, playing in 12 games and starting three. He is expected to remain a versatile backup both at guard and tackle for the 2010 season.
