Share

Josh Johnson found a new home on Monday.

The quarterback signed with the New York Giants, his agent announced on Twitter.

The 30-year old journeyman played his college ball under Jim Harbaugh at the University of San Diego.

Johnson was selected by Tampa Bay in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft.

From 2009 to 2011, he appeared in 26 games (five starts) for the Buccaneers.

In March 2012, Johnson reunited with Harbaugh when he signed with the 49ers, but San Francisco released him during final cuts.

After playing for the Browns and Bengals in 2012 and 2013 respectively, Johnson re-signed with the 49ers in May 2014.

He was released and re-signed several times throughout the 2014 campaign and never appeared in a regular-season game.

In 2015, Johnson spent time with the Bengals, Jets, Colts and Bills.

He signed with the Ravens in May and was released by Baltimore on Saturday.
