Brandon Johnson and Stacy Andrews in the mix

The Bengals signed another former Arizona Cardinals linebacker. Brandon Johnson is likely a Special Teams addition. Johnson becomes the tenth signed linebacker for 2008 -- including Odell Thurman and David Pollack. Johnson is the third linebacker (Darryl Blackstock and Roy Manning being the others) the Bengals signed in the span of 10 days. Johnson is signed to a one-year deal.

Stacy Andrews also signed his one-year contract after being designed as the franchise player last month. He's due to earn $7.455 million as a projected backup to start the season. Talks continue for a long term deal -- a good idea if you have a plan to get him in the starting lineup.
