Johnson is the second Arizona Cardinal linebacker to sign with the Bengals this offseason. Last week, the Bengals agreed to terms with Darryl Blackstock.
Release from the Bengals:
The Bengals today signed free agent LB Brandon Johnson to a one-year contract.
Johnson (6-5, 224; Louisville) is a third-year NFL player in 2008. He was a fifth-round draft choice of Arizona in 2006 and played the last two seasons for the Cardinals, seeing action in nine games. He has eight career special teams tackles, including six last season, when he saw action in six games.
Johnson’s Arizona contract expired after the 2007 season, and he became a free agent when the signing period began on Feb. 29 with the Cardinals not having made him a tender offer.
