Ottawa Redblacks sign defensive back Josh Johnson to one-year deal
OTTAWA – The Ottawa Redblacks shored up their secondary Thursday by signing American defensive back Josh Johnson to a one-year contract.
Johnson appeared in eight games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016. He played for the B.C. Lions in 2014-15.
“To be able to sign a player of Josh’s quality at this stage of the off-season is significant for the Redblacks,” Ottawa GM Marcel Desjardins said in a statement. “He will add experience to our defence while providing leadership and versatility.”
The 27-year-old Johnson started 36-of-49 games while at Purdue, registering 184 tackles and six interceptions.
