Checking in on Larry Johnson

After his release from the Kansas City Chiefs, many experts expected that Larry Johnson could be waiting for some time before another team would take a chance on him.

However, Johnson's wait was much shorter than expected. The running back who was forced out of Kansas City for his off-putting behavior signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday. The AFC North-leader made the move in an attempt to add depth to its backfield.

NFL veteran contracts are guaranteed at the start of the regular season, so Johnson will still collect $4 million from his Chiefs' contract and an additional $255,290 -- the veteran minimum for the remainder of the season -- from the Bengals.
