NFL free agency is just over a month away, meaning we are getting close to the start of the 2022 league year. New head coach Mike McDaniel has filled out the entirety of his staff, so general manager Chris Grier and the rest of the front office can piece together what they want the roster to look like.
Miami is set to have 28 free agents when the league year starts, including running back Duke Johnson.
Johnson had a strange year in 2021. Right before the start of the league year, he was waived by the Houston Texans and wasn’t picked up until the start of the regular season when he joined the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. However, he was waived a week later.
It wasn’t until October 26 that Johnson signed with Miami’s practice squad. He saw his first snaps in the Week 11 game against the Jets and took over the lead back role by Week 14.
On the year, Johnson recorded 330 yards and three touchdowns on 4.6 yards per carry as well as four receptions for 41 yards.
