A

Johnson will head to Arizona in what will mark the 15th different NFL organization that he's been a part of since entering the league as a fifth-round pick in 2008. The 40-year-old is expected to operate as the primary backup option behind rookie third-round pick Carson Beck, who is poised to make his first NFL start Week 10 versus the Rams in place of the injured Gardner Minshew (elbow). With Minshew at risk of missing the remainder of the 2026 campaign while he recovers from a torn UCL, Johnson will likely stick around Arizona until the season concludes.
