He will not be counting as the Wizards designated player next season. Johnson was suppose to count as a DP for the 2008 season, along with Landon Donovan and Carlos Ruiz, they were grandfathered in for 2007. The MLS Board of Governors voted on Friday, though, that Johnson, Donovan and Ruiz would all not count as DP's for the 2008 season.
It would have been fun to watch the Galaxy squirm while trying to find a team to trade them their designated player slot, but I would guess that the league is just stalling until they can get a second designated player slot passed so that the Galaxy don't have to get rid of Donovan or trade for a DP slot.
