Josh Johnson is the definition of an NFL journeyman. Every time the quarterback’s career seems destined for the finish line, there is another team that signs him.
The Washington Commanders signed Johnson, whose NFL career began in 2008 after playing college ball at the University of San Diego. This is the second go-round for Johnson with Washington. His lone NFL win as a starter came with the franchise in 2018.
The next two seasons saw Johnson in the defunct Alliance of American Football and the also defunct XFL before he made his way back to the NFL.
Here’s Johnson’s full professional football career timeline (asterisks note practice squad or offseason member):
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2008–2011)
- San Francisco 49ers (2012)*
- Sacramento Mountain Lions (2012)
- Cleveland Browns (2012)

He is coming off a career-high in earnings for a season, having made a tick more than $1.4 million with the Ravens last season.
