Washington takes a flyer on a former Panthers draft bust seeking redemption. Media frames this as a low-risk depth move with multiple headlines emphasizing the gamble. Johnson gets a career lifeline, but his draft-bust status signals limited upside potential. Fans see this as typical end-of-season roster tinkering ahead of Week 18.
