The six-year veteran played the last two seasons with the Eagles. He started six of 17 games during the 2024 regular season, and appeared in all four games during the playoffs, including Super Bowl LIX. The Jaguars have already signed free agents Patrick Mekari and Robert Hainsey this offseason in hopes of bolstering its offensive line. Pro Football Focus graded the Jacksonville offensive line as the league’s 16th best pass blocking unit in 2024.

The Bengals released Johnson this week after adding La'el Collins to their offensive line. He'll join a Bucs offensive line graded by Pro Football Focus as the NFL's fifth-best pass-blocking unit in 2021. 

Johnson was originally extended a tender offer as a restricted free agent, an offer the team announced he signed on Tuesday morning. The Bengals were no longer interested in bringing back Johnson after adding La'el Collins, however, so they are sending him to waivers. Any team that claims him off waivers will owe the roughly $2.4 million value of the restricted free agent tender Johnson signed. 

The Bengals last week extended a right or first refusal to Johnson, a restricted free agent. Johnson in 2021 was the team's top-graded run blocker, per Pro Football Focus. He'll likely be a rotational guard in 2022 for what will be an improved Cincinnati offensive line.
