Bengals to Release Quarterback Josh Johnson
The Cincinnati Bengals are preparing to release quarterback Josh Johnson as they finalize their roster to meet the 53-player limit. This decision comes as the team evaluates its depth chart, where Johnson was positioned behind Joe Burrow and Joe Flacco, with Sean Clifford also in the mix.
Johnson has a notable history in the NFL, having played in five games and started two for the Washington Commanders in 2025. Since entering the league as a fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008, he has been part of 14 different teams.
His extensive experience may provide him with opportunities to join another team before the start of the regular season in less than two weeks.
