The Washington Commanders have preached competition while retooling their roster, even as that roster retains plenty of familiarity. On Friday, they got more of both.

Washington signed quarterback Josh Johnson to a one-year contract, reuniting him with the franchise for which he started three games in 2018. Johnson adds depth to Washington’s quarterbacks room behind Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota and competition for the third spot with Sam Hartman, a second-year undrafted quarterback who spent much of last season on the practice squad. (The team did not re-sign former third-string quarterback Jeff Driskel in free agency.)

Johnson’s return to Washington is the latest stop in one of the more remarkable pro football careers. He has been with a league-record 14 NFL teams — five multiple times — and played in both the XFL (2020) and the United Football League (2012). His return to Washington is the 25th time he has changed pro teams.

“They were actually playing a little Too Short, knowing I was from Oakland,” Johnson said in a video conference call with reporters shortly after signing. “So the vibes were immaculate.”

If I remember correctly, didn't Mariotta whup our ass when we had Johnson? Doesn't mean anything, just something I recall...I think.

Seems like a waste to sign him. Mariotta was fine as backup. We don’t need a third qb, unless Sam Hartman just plain sucks on our PS?
