The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to a 1 year deal with defensive tackle Tank Johnson. His agent, Jerrold Colton, told The Associated Press the Bengals' defensive scheme is a better fit for Johnson than his previous team, the Dallas Cowboys, as he will be able to do more pass rushing, fill gaps, etc. Johnson is coming off a less than stellar stint with the Cowboys who attempted to make him a nose tackle in their 3-4 defense.
On paper, this seems like a good move by the Bengals in a sense that beefs up there defensive line which is much needed. Johnson does have a troubled past, the gun charge, jail time etc. which seems like is old hat for the Bengals these days, who seem to give every "troubled" player a zillion chances to make right with their career (Bengals had a run of 10 player arrests in a 14-month span). Tank had no real issues during his time with the Cowboys so I guess only time will tell if he is able to pan out with the Bengals this season.
