Sun Jul 24 2011 | 14:22 | Bengals want Johnson, Fanene back |
Bengals.com confirms the team would like to re-sign free agent LB Brandon Johnson and DL Jonathan Fanene. |
Both players have been key cogs in Mike Zimmer's nickel defense. A top reserve the past couple of years, Johnson may be seeking a starting job on the open market. Installing him as the strong-side linebacker in Cincy makes more sense than pushing special teamer Dan Skuta into the role. |
