Larry Johnson signs with Cincinnati Bengals

In a move all to familiar to Bengals fans, the team decided to take a chance on malcontent Larry Johnson. If this were the 1st time the Bengals took a flier on a guy with off-field problems, you probably wouldn’t think twice.

Amazingly though, the Bengals have a history of pulling these kinds of stunts.

(Chris Henry, Tank Johnson and Peter Warrick just to name a few.)

However, the Bengals probably have a more legitimate reason this time around to add LJ. Starting running back Cedric Benson tweaked a hip muscle in Sunday’s game and is questionable this week.

And even though Marvin Lewis has already told Johnson that he is the team’s 4th running back, you have to think with Benson hurt, they’ll give him a legitimate look this week.

As for Larry Johnson himself, he’s about 3 years past his prime. He’s been more productive on Twitter than he has been on the field.

Expect a meltdown about two weeks from now. In fact, you can bet on it.
