The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on Wednesday that they signed former Bengals linebacker Brandon Johnson. Johnson spent the last four seasons with the Bengals, largely as a weakside linebacker, a nickel backer and a special teams ace. Johnson wasn't offered a contract by the Bengals, presumably due to the already impressive group that the team figures that they have.
We have announced today the signing of two veterans to our active roster, linebacker Brandon Johnson and long snapper Matt Katula.
