The Detroit Lions have signed veteran quarterback Josh Johnson to compete for the backup quarterback job behind Matthew Stafford.
This is the latest stop for the 33-year-old, who started three games for the Washington Redskins last year, completing 52 of 91 passes for 590 yards, 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
A fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2008 draft, he has bounced around from team to team and league to league throughout his pro football career.
The Lions mark the 13th NFL team for Johnson, who also played for the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League and was expected to play for the San Diego Fleet of the Alliance of American Football League before Washington signed him last year.
He has played in 33 career NFL games -- starting eight -- and has completed 148 of 268 passes for 1,632 yards, 8 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. His most significant action came early in his career in Tampa Bay, when he appeared in 26 games with five starts -- the Bucs didn't win any of the games he started.
