Falcons | Waive Darius Johnson Fri Jul 25, 02:20 PM
The Atlanta Falcons waived WR Darius Johnson Friday, July 25.
| Footballguys view: Undersized and slow, Johnson caught just 22 passes in 2013, despite multiple injuries to the Atlanta receiving corps. He might catch on elsewhere as a camp body, but it's unlikely he amounts to more. |
