CB Danny Johnson is re-signing in Washington on a one-year deal, @PostSports can confirm. He was mostly a kick returner last year — 26 returns, 22 yards per return, no touchdowns — but could provide some depth this year at CB, a position of need. (@john_keim 1st.)

It may not be as groundbreaking of a signing as the others we’ve seen over the past three days, but the Washington Football Team made a move to add some depth to their defensive secondary by keeping cornerback Danny Johnson around for the 2021 season.
Johnson splayed sparingly in 2020, only acting as a special teams returner where he averaged 22 yards per return on 26 attempts. However, in the past, the team has relied on him to provide some relief at the CB position, where he has two passes defended and 19 total tackles over the past three years.
We will see how much Johnson gets into the rotation this year behind Kendall Fuller and William Jackson III, but he should be in the mix alongside Jimmy Moreland.
