Johnson was waived by the Commanders on Monday. Johnson made all 10 of his field-goal attempts during his rookie season in 2021, so he could get another chance elsewhere this offseason. Joey Slye, coach Ron Rivera's old friend from Carolina, will act as Washington's kicker this season.

Johnson was tendered a contract by the Commanders on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Johnson is an exclusive rights free agent, meaning he cannot sign elsewhere now that he's received a tender. His projected role with the Commanders remains unclear, as the team can tender restricted free agent Joey Slye up until 4:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Johnson split the 2021 campaign between New Orleans and Washington, combining to hit all 10 of his field-goal attempts but only nine of his 13 extra-point attempts.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. Johnson has been able to maintain his spot on the 53-man roster since Joey Slye was activated from injured reserve Week 16, but the former will remain inactive for the third game in a row. Between stops with New Orleans and Washington, Johnson closes out the 2021 season with a 10-for-10 success rate from the field, though he knocked down only nine of 13 extra-point attempts.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Eagles. After serving as Washington's place kicker for three consecutive weeks, Johnson will now draw a second straight healthy scratch. As long as Joey Slye is healthy, Johnson likely won't have a spot on Washington's gameday roster.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Johnson served as Washington's placekicker across the last three games and converted both of his field-goal attempts while making four of five extra-point tries. However, he'll be unavailable Sunday since Joey Slye will be back in action following his hamstring injury.
