However, after being told that he wouldn't be a starter in the 2015 NFL season, Johnson was permitted to seek a trade, and if unsuccessful, he requested to be cut. Unfortunately, the perennial Pro Bowler couldn't attract a sufficient trade package, and he was released in March 2015.
Johnson enjoyed two one-season stints with the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans. He eventually announced his retirement in October 2016. He subsequently signed a one-day contract with the Texans to officially retire as a member of the franchise that drafted him way back in 2003.
