The Cincinnati Bengals have signed veteran quarterback Josh Johnson, per @AdamSchefter. The move brings the experienced signal-caller back to Cincinnati, where he previously played during the 2013 season.
Johnson has become well-known across the NFL for his longevity and his ability to provide veteran leadership to a variety of quarterback rooms. His return to the Bengals adds a seasoned backup option to the roster. During his initial tenure with the team a decade ago, Johnson appeared in two games for the franchise.
The Bengals front office has not yet released the official terms of the agreement. Johnson has spent time with over a dozen NFL franchises throughout his career, most recently appearing for the San Francisco 49ers. This signing ensures the Bengals have a veteran presence behind their starting unit as the team moves through the current phase of the offseason calendar.
