Johnson played three seasons for the Bengals and one for the Bucs before landing in Philadelphia. He has appeared in 79 games with 22 starts in his career.
He has played guard and tackle in the NFL.
The Andy Dalton trade has now become official.
The Panthers and Eagles announced on Tuesday morning that Dalton has been traded to Philadelphia in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2027 draft.
That means Dalton has passed his physical.
Dalton, 38, is now set to be a backup for Jalen Hurts. The Eagles also have Tanner McKee on their roster as an option at QB.
Since completing his tenure as Cincinnati’s starting quarterback in 2019, Dalton has played for the Cowboys, Bears, Saints, and Panthers. He’s started at least one game in each of his 15 seasons, including one for Carolina in 2025.
The Eagles are signing safeties Marcus Epps and J.T. Gray to one-year deals, Dianna Russini of TheAthletic.com reports.

Epps, 30, played for the Eagles last season, seeing action on 250 defensive snaps and 119 on special teams in 12 games. He started four games in place of Drew Mukuba.
Epps also played for the Eagles from 2019-22.
He has played games for the Vikings and Raiders, too, and has totaled 315 tackles, three interceptions, 18 passes defensed and two forced fumbles in his career.

The Eagles are trading safety Sydney Brown to the Falcons for a swap of picks, according to multiple reports.
The teams swapped fourth- and sixth-round picks, with Philadelphia acquiring picks No. 114 and 197 and Atlanta receiving picks No. 122 and 215 in addition to Brown.
Brown is entering the final year of his contract with a $1.484 million base salary and a $1.829 million salary cap hit.
Brown, who turns 26 on Saturday, has played 42 games with nine starts in his three seasons. He has totaled 86 tackles, two interceptions, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles.
The Eagles made him a third-round pick in 2023.
In 2025, Brown played all 17 games with three starts, seeing action on 22 percent of the defensive snaps and 76 on special teams.
DeMarcco Hellams, who has played only 11 games the past three seasons due to injury, was the third safety for the Falcons before the trade.
Philadelphia has added a running back.
The Eagles announced on Thursday that they’ve agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Dameon Pierce.
Pierce, 25, was most recently with the Chiefs in 2025, appearing in one game for the club. He had signed with Kansas City off of Houston’s practice squad, where he’d previously spent all of his career.
The Texans selected Pierce in the fourth round of the 2022 draft. He appeared in 42 games with 20 starts for the club, rushing for 1,674 yards and eight touchdowns. He also caught 45 passes for 268 yards with one TD.
Pierce’s best season came in 2022 as a rookie, as he totaled 1,104 yards from scrimmage with five total touchdowns.
