Commanders' Danny Johnson: Re-signs with Washington
The Commanders signed Johnson to a two-year contract Monday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson joined Washington back in 2018 but proceeded to operate primarily as a special-teams contributor throughout his first three seasons in the league. The 5-foot-9 cornerback then served as a rotational cornerback in 2021 before registering career bests in tackles (29), sacks (one), interceptions (one) and passes defensed (nine) across 11 games during this past campaign. Johnson is now set to compete for a consistent starting role in the Commanders' secondary throughout the offseason and into training camp.

Commanders' Danny Johnson: Career year in 2022
Johnson appeared in 11 games (four starts) during the 2022 season and recorded 29 tackles (20 solo), including one sack, and an interception.
Johnson had the most efficient season of his career despite starting the year off on the practice squad. The 27-year-old set a new career high in tackles while also registering the first sack and interception in his five years as a pro. Johnson's role increased as the season went on, as nearly two-thirds of his playing time came during the last four weeks of the season. An unrestricted free agent this offseason, the 2018 undrafted free agent will look to compete for playing time either in Washington or elsewhere in 2023
