Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com was the first to report Johnson was drawing interest from multiple team.
"At least three NFL teams are currently believed to be interested in trading for Johnson, but more will likely surface if they believe the Browns are serious about it," Cabot reports.
She goes on to add that Cleveland isn't in a rush to trade Johnson because the NFL has yet to decide how many games Kareem Hunt will be suspended for an incident with a woman outside his apartment that was captured on surveillance footage.
Cleveland signed Hunt on Feb. 11, forming a crowded backfield that also includes 2018 second round pick Nick Chubb.
Per Cabot, Johnson may welcome a move as he was privately frustrated by his lack of touches last season.
Johnson only had 82 (40 rushing, 47 receiving) touches in 2018 after having 157 (82 rushing, 74 receiving) in 2017.
