ASHBURN, Va. - Strong safety Jeron Johnson and the Washington Redskins came to terms on a two-year, $4 million contract on Monday.
Johnson is the fifth defensive free agent to be brought to the team by first year general manager Scot McCloughan as the Redskins seek to improve from their 20th-ranked spot in overall defense last season.
A fourth-year man out of Boise State, Johnson was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Seahawks after the NFL Lockout of 2010, also by McCloughan, notching 43 tackles, two sacks, and a forced fumble in his time with Seattle, including a Super Bowl XLVII championship.
He featured largely on special teams as the backup to Kam Chancellor.
Washington, yet to sign a free agent on offense this offseason, added linemen Stephen Paea, Ricky Jean Francois, and Terrance Knighton. The team also signed cornerback Chris Culliver.
