Johnson, defensive tackle Fredrick Jones, wide receiver Tom Kennedy, center Leo Koloamatangi, linebacker Steven Longa, tight end Isaac Nauta, tackle Matt Nelson, linebacker Anthony Pittman, wide receiver Brandon Powell, defensive tackle Ray Smith, running back Justin Stockton, cornerback Teez Tabor, running back Mark Thompson, tight end Austin Traylor, safety Charles Washington, and defensive end Jonathan Wynn. They also waived/injured wide receiver Andy Jones.
