The Redskins don&#8217;t have the venerable Chancellor on their roster, or anyone like him, so Washington likely has every intention of giving Johnson a shot at starting.

Despite his inexperience, he may prove to be the best one.<\/p>\n<p>McCloughan&#8217;s fifth free agent decision, is his fifth defensive acquisition. All shrewd. All low key. All young guys.
