Brian Johnson is taking a role with the Commies:
The #Commanders are expected to hire former Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson to a prominent offensive staff role, per source.

The role will be focused more in the passing game.
So the Eagles won’t have to gameplan against a heavy amount of wide receiver screens next season:
This will likely be as a pass-game coordinator role and should be done soon, I’m told.
Big get for Dan Quinn. Johnson is good with quarterbacks and Philly finished top-eight in total offense and points last year. https://t.co/XK1o6B6Tt8

Good move from the Commies since there is a good chance they land Caleb Williams or Drake Maye in the draft. As bad as Brian Johnson the play caller was, Brian Johnson the QB developer was much much better. Before Jalen he helped develop Kyle Trask into a Heisman candidate at Florida.
Busy day for Josh Harris signing off on deals and coaching hires. He’s probably on a yacht looking like Freddie Mitchell at the Super Bowl:
Kyle writes blog posts and does Man on the Street-style videos all around Philadelphia. He graduated from Temple University (a basketball school) in 2015. contact: k.pagan@sportradar.com
