“The road to justice is a long one,” Johnson’s attorney, Eric Hageman, said in a statement. “They fought us every step of the way. We were heading to trial this summer when they settled. We got it done, and Tom got the vindication he was looking for and he was able to hold them accountable.”
Johnson, who played for the Vikings from 2014 to ’17, said Friday he felt good about the settlement.
“The officers and the city actually had to be accountable for something that went on at the end of the day that was very unprofessional,” he said.
Johnson, 35, who also played for the New Orleans Saints in a seven-year NFL career, retired from the league in 2018.
