Josh Johnson, a 38-year-old veteran quarterback, recently signed with the Washington Commanders, marking his 18th year in professional football. With 14 NFL teams under his belt, including a brief stint with the Denver Broncos in 2022, Johnson has also played in the UFL, AAF, and XFL.
During his time with the Broncos in 2022, Johnson served as an emergency backup quarterback on the practice squad and was later added to the game-day roster after a Russell Wilson injury. Despite his extensive experience, Johnson did not see any playing time in a regular season game for Denver.
A former fifth-round pick from San Diego, Johnson has accumulated 2,297 passing yards, completing 58.1% of his passes, along with 13 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He has also rushed for 426 yards and one touchdown throughout his career. Joining the Washington Commanders, Johnson adds depth to a quarterback room already featuring Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota, and Sam Hartman.
