According to the Bengals' official Twitter account, the team signed kicker Thomas Weber to a reserve/future contract on Friday, which means he will go on the team's roster when the offseason begins.

Weber, who kicked for the Arizona State Sun Devils, competed for a position on the Bengals roster during the 2011 preseason. He didn't attempt a field goal in the three preseason games he played in but he did go two-for-two on extra points and averaged 68.2 yards on kickoffs with one touchback.
Weber will once again compete for a position during the offseason, which hopefully will be delayed by a Bengals win in Houston on Saturday.
