Johnson was waived by the Jets on Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Johnson has bounced around several practice squads in his first year as a pro and that looks to be his fate once again in 2025. He'll be free to sign elsewhere, assuming he clears waivers.

The Jets signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

He's still looking for his first career snap in a regular-season contest. Johnson will compete for a job this coming offseason.
Let go by Jets
