Johnson was waived by the Jets on Friday, Brian Costello of The New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Signed off the Rams' practice squad last December, Johnson was likely made expendable after the Jets' trade for Demario Davis last week. His departure likely opens the door for Julian Stanford and Spencer Paysinger to see additional reps for the remainder of the offseason and potentially into training camp as well.

Johnson has signed with the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson spent a majority of the season on the Rams' practice squad, but will look to serve as a depth option at linebacker for the Jets behind the likes of Darron Lee and David Harris.

The Bills worked seventh-round LB Randell Johnson at defensive end on Wednesday. Johnson had been working with the linebackers up until this point. At Florida Atlantic, Johnson played both end and linebacker. He struggles in coverage, so letting him focus on getting into the backfield should help him adjust to the NFL quicker. Johnson will have to show well on teams to crack the 53-man roster.

Bills signed No. 221 overall pick LB Randell Johnson to a four-year contract. Coming off an injury-plagued career for Florida Atlantic, Johnson will attempt to crack the 53-man roster as a special teamer. His most likely home for 2014 is the practice squad.
