Washington Commanders Senior Writer for The Athletic, Ben Standig, wrote on his X platform, “Reunion: The Commanders are signing QB Josh Johnson to a 1-year contract, per source. The ultimate NFL journeyman played four games - three starts - for Washington in 2018. Umpteen teams later, he’s back as a potential third-string QB for Jayden Daniels.” One X user commented, “Why?” Another wrote, “Random but I’ll take it”.
Fans react to the invisible thread connection between Jayden Daniels and Josh Johnson
A Chinese proverb about the invisible thread says, “An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle but will never break.” An invisible red(jersey of the Washington Commanders) thread connects the 24 YO star quarterback for the Washington Commanders, Jayden Daniels, with the 38 YO third-string quarterback, Josh Johnson.
MLFootball posted on their official X account,
“#Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was only 7 years old when Josh Johnson was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2008. Johnson is now Daniels backup in Washington. Crazy…”
One X user said, “Josh Johnson’s been on so many teams 😭”
Another X user too shared, “is josh johnson going for the i been on every team award”
A third X user wrote, “That’s actually insane”
Josh Johnson has been a quarterback for more than 24 teams -Washington Commanders marks his 25th team
The 38 YO quarterback started his journey from Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 when Jayden Daniels was only 7 years old! As rightly pointed out by MLFootball. But, what’s more fascinating, is that more than 20+ NFL/UFL/AFL/AAF teams have been interested in the third-string quarterback of Jayden Daniels, Josh Johnson! No wonder an X user said, “This man been around so long he played for the Redskins and Commanders.”
The teams are as follows:

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2008 to 2011)- NFL Sacramento Mountain Lions (2012) - UFL Cleveland Browns (2012) -NFL Cincinnati Bengals (2013) - NFL San Francisco 49ers (2014) - NFL Indianapolis Colts (2015) - NFL Buffalo Bills (2015) -NFL New York Giants (2016) -NFL Houston Texans (2017) - NFL Washington Redskins (2018) - NFL Detroit Lions (2019) - NFL Los Angeles Wildcats (2020) - AFL New York Jets (2021) - NFL Baltimore Ravens (2021) - NFL Denver Broncos (2022) - NFL San Francisco 49ers (2022) - NFL Baltimore Ravens (2023 to 2024) - NFL Washington Commanders (2025) - NFL

Another X user was happy for Josh Johnson, “More power to him. He continues to get paid and qualifies for NFL retirement.”
A third X user wanted Josh Johnson to be the QB for seven more teams, “Aye let this man get all 32 teams”.
