"Josh Johnson's tour around the NFL has returned to Cincinnati, with the veteran quarterback signing a 1-year deal with the Bengals, the team announced Saturday. Johnson has played for 14 different NFL teams since entering the league in 2008. This is his third stint with the Bengals (2013, 2015)."
"Most recently, the 39-year-old was with the Washington Commanders, where he appeared in five games last season. He completed 63% of his passes for 372 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He has made 11 starts in his career and played in 50 contests."
"Cincinnati entered the offseason in need of two reserve quarterbacks. Joe Flacco, who was acquired via trade to be the team starter after Joe Burrow suffered an injury, remains a free agent. At the end of last season, Flacco expressed a desire to start for a team in 2026 after a fairly successful stint with Cincinnati."
Josh Johnson, a 39-year-old veteran quarterback, has signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, marking his third time with the franchise. Johnson has played for 14 different NFL teams since 2008 and most recently appeared in five games for the Washington Commanders, completing 63% of his passes with one touchdown and two interceptions. The Bengals needed reserve quarterback depth after Joe Flacco, acquired to back up Joe Burrow, expressed interest in starting elsewhere and remains unsigned. Jake Browning, the team's previous third-string quarterback, departed to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an unrestricted free agent.
