Josh Johnson Signs With Bengals

Sunday, March 15, 7:16 AM

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Saturday that they signed free-agent journeyman quarterback Josh Johnson to an undisclosed deal. Johnson will continue his NFL career into his 11th season, and this will be his second stint with Cincinnati, as he also played for them back in 2013. The 39-year-old veteran has suited up for seven different teams in his career. He was with the Washington Commanders in 2025, going 34-for-54 for 372 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in five games (two starts). The Bengals needed some more quarterback depth going into the 2026 season after Jake Browning signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in free agency. As things currently stand, Johnson figures to compete with Sean Clifford for backup duties behind starter Joe Burrow. In his 10 NFL seasons, Johnson has completed only 58.7% of his 412 pass attempts for 2,669 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions.

Quinn Ewers News

Quinn Ewers Little More Than a Back-of-Roster Dynasty Handcuff

Sunday, June 21, 5:37 AM

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers was given the chance to start the final three games of his rookie season. While he did not look glaringly out of place running an NFL offense, averaging 189.7 passing yards across those starts while throwing three touchdowns and three interceptions, the new Dolphins regime moved quickly to add former Packer Malik Willis on a three-year, $67.5 million deal that would presumably lock him in as the starter for the duration of Ewer's rookie contract. At RotoBaller's QB49, Ewers is still a roster-worthy handcuff in superflex dynasty leagues, though any fantasy consideration he sees is likely to come in a worst-case, emergency situation with no other fill-in options. Even then, his upside will still be capped by his conservative play style and Miami's lack of receiver talent, making him an easy player to move on from for managers facing a roster crunch.
