Yahoo Sports NFL on Josh Johnson
From the article
Josh Johnson is a 19-year NFL veteran quarterback who has played for seemingly half of the NFL; Johnson is currently on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad. Meaning the Seahawks would have to sign him to the 53-man roster to get him to the team. The Seahawks making a move like this would be a sign that Darnold's injury may be longer term than originally thought.
STACKED’s take
Johnson, 19-year vet on Bengals practice squad, could signal longer Darnold timeline.
Johnson is a 19-year NFL veteran quarterback who has played for seemingly half of the NFL, the UFL, XFL, and was the first overall pick in the AAF; he has been a backup or third-string quarterback throughout his career, playing in emergency situations. More recently Johnson started two games for the Washington Commanders in 2025, completing 63% of his passes, throwing for 372 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Johnson is currently on the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad, meaning the Seahawks would have to sign him to the 53-man roster to acquire him. The Seahawks making this move would signal that Darnold's injury may be longer term than originally thought.
