Bengals sign veteran QB Josh Johnson to one-year deal

The Bengals signed quarterback Josh Johnson, a veteran who had two stints with Cincinnati during the 2013 and 2015 seasons, to a one-year deal on Saturday.

Johnson, 39, spent last season with the Washington Commanders, one of an NFL-record 14 teams for which he has suited up since he was a fifth-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

He threw for 372 yards and one touchdown on 34-for-54 passing in five games (two starts) last season with Washington, including his first NFL start since 2021 with the Baltimore Ravens.
