Ashburn, VA (My Sportsbook) - The Washington Redskins signed punter Dirk Johnson on Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Johnson, a seven-year veteran, boomed 40 punts for the NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals last season for a 35.2-yard net average, but was released in December when the team brought in punter Ben Graham. The Northern Colorado product also played for the Philadelphia Eagles from 2003-06 and recorded 72 punts during the 2004 campaign, including 20 inside the 20-yard line. Johnson and Zac Atterberry are expected to battle for playing time in camp. |
