The Washington Football Team is re-signing a couple of its own, with CB Danny Johnson and LB Jared Norris both returning, source said. Johnson was the primary kickoff returner last year and provides depth at CB, while Norris helps on specials.

They aren’t the big-named free-agent signings that we have grown accustomed to in D.C., but the Washington Football Team made a solid move to retain both CB Danny Johnson and LB Jared Norris on Tuesday afternoon, keeping them around to provide depth on the defense in 2021.
We don’t yet know the terms of both contracts, but the two players will do well to round out the defensive roster for Washington.
Johnson has provided some rotational minutes for Washington on the defense, but he is the primary kick returner and has been reliable in that spot. Norris game to the team in 2020 and played mostly special teams, but he could potentially move up the LB depth chart if he continues to perform well.
