Johnson will join his third team as he enters his third season in the league. The 22-year-old out of LSU was signed as a rookie free agent in 2014 by Miami, where he made the team's 53-man roster but played in just seven games. He was cut by the Dolphins at the end of training camp last summer before being signed to Washington's practice squad in November. He was released by the Redskins last Monday.

Johnson played at LSU from 2011-2013 and appeared in 40 games with 16 starts at defensive tackle. He finished his career at LSU with 77 tackles, 22 tackles for loss and 7 sacks.
