After months of requesting a demand for a trade, running back Duke Johnson finally got his wish.

On Thursday ESPN reported that the 25-year-old was traded to the Houston Texans for a conditional fourth round pick in 2020. The pick could become a third rounder depending on Johnson's performance with the team.

Texans were in need of another running back in their backfield after releasing D'onta Foreman last week.

Johnson has spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Browns but wanted a trade after the team acquired Kareem Hunt this offseason to go along with second year running back Nick Chubb.

In his four year NFL career Johnson has amassed 299 rushes for 1,286 rushing yards along with 235 receptions for 2,170 receiving yards and 13 total touchdowns.
