Larry Johnson to Visit the Bengals

Reports are emerging that former Chief running back Larry Johnson is going to visit with the Cincinnati Bengals in the coming days. Lewis did confirm the Bengals will be talking with Johnson, but if they did sign him it would only be for a backup role and Johnson would actually be fourth on the depth chart. I guess Lewis felt it was important to make this point considering Cedric Benson the starting running back was hurt yesterday against the Steelers and it is unclear at this time if he will be able to play this weekend against the Oakland Raiders. I know the Bengals are having an excellent year (so good I’m not calling them the Bungles currently), but do they really need another bad character in that locker room? You can rest assured if Johnson does sign with the Bengals it will no doubt be time to pop some champagne.
