Johnson signed with the Cowboys as a free agent and is competing for the last wide receiver spot on the roster. He played 12 games with the Jets last season, catching 12 passes for just under 200 yards and one TD. With Dallas having locked-in top four receivers and multiple young players competing for the final spot, Johnson faces an uphill climb with only a 5% chance to make the roster.

Johnson functions as classic veteran insurance for the Cowboys; he could get more consideration at final cuts if there is greater need for experienced receivers, but likely loses out to younger prospects if the top receivers are all healthy.
