What happened: Johnson joined Atlanta on an Exhibit 10 contract Sept. 23 to compete in camp. Atlanta moved him to the signed-and-waived group Sept. 25 alongside Butler, Baker, Bryant and Higgs. McKneely has not been waived yet and remains with the club.

Why it matters: Exhibit 10 moves keep bonuses tied to a College Park stay. Atlanta closed the offseason with a competitive roster and unusual liquidity. The pipeline preserves extra looks ahead of the 2026-27 season.

What to watch: Watch McKneely for the next waiver and the College Park camp roster for which names report.
