Didn't see that one happening. Hope he doesn't see the field outside of the preseason.

Or blowouts when we're up 42-7 against the Browns, Ravens, and Steelers.

Not sure how this is a good sign whatsoever.....?
RE: Fred Johnson re-signed - Nicomo Cosca - 03-14-2022
I like him better for OT depth than Prince, so I’m good with it.

I believe it’s a no risk tag. We could cut him later and owe him nothing.
#Bengals tendering Fred Johnson, as
@AdamSchefter tweeted, changes little.
He's undrafted, so there would be no compensation if another team made an offer.
His one-year, $2.43M tender is not guaranteed. Bengals on hook for nothing if cut.

Good point.

...Why?
He'd be OT5 at best, behind Williams, our new starting FA RT, Isaiah Prince and D'Ante Smith.
Not a great use of cap space to give your 5th OT 2.4 million.
I guess they could just cut him if they decide he isn't needed. Makes him a high probability cut in training camp unless he really balls out.

In a season where the O-line was the biggest liability, Johnson was inactive 10 times and appeared in just five games.
He didn't even crack the starting lineup in Week 18 at Cleveland when all the regulars sat.

This is good. In light of them being able to cut him even tomorrow if they were tight on cap room there is no downside to this move. I really hope people get that instead of saying "his" 2.43M could have been the difference between keeping Hopkins and landing a better center for instance.
RE: Fred Johnson re-signed - Isaac Curtis: The Real #85 - 03-14-2022
This is so stupid. He barely played last year and was often inactive, even after Reiff got hurt. He is OT #4 at best, behind Jonah, Reiff, and Prince. Probably also behind Smith & Adeniji, who have more versatility. And that is before FA.
This does not bode well for re-signing Reiff, or picking up a RT in FA.
No guaranteed $$, so we can bail if we have to.

Yeah. He can be waived with no cap hit.
I'd rather use this money elsewhere.

I seriously doubt they gave this kid a 1-yr no guarantees tender with the intention of him being our starting RT.

Terrible. News is one of our AFCN foes were looking to sign him. Bengals probably being petty by placing this tender tbh. Not like he can beat out Prince so wtf.

I guess Some Body is better than No Bodies
RE: Fred Johnson re-signed - CardCounterChris - 03-14-2022
Wasted 2.4M. If he ever sees the field its an immediate problem. Surely there was someone at league minimum to sit on the bench, who might be able to block in a game.
RE: Fred Johnson re-signed - THE PISTONS - 03-14-2022
It's kind of funny that Rosenhaus is his agent. I guess he has some smaller name guys too.
