Read-Option Packages Are A Possibility With Bengals QB Josh Johnson

Dan Pompei, NFL insider for the National Football Post, is bridging the same connection based on newer comments from Gruden.
"I like his athletic ability," Gruden...

Report: Josh Johnson Agrees To Terms With The Bengals
Jenna Laine of the Sports Xchange reports that the Bengals have reached an agreement with free agent QB Josh Johnson.
Laine adds that Johnson will receive a two-year deal from Cincinnati.

Fantasy Football: Week 17 Injury Update (T-Rich/Gronk/MJD)
Roddy White: Are you crazy? I don’t care if he doesn’t practice all week or is reported to have a hard cast around his knee. He’s clearly going to play, if the last two weeks are any indication, and you have to treat this like we treated Calvin Johnson’s knee injury: they’re resting him so he’s ready to go come Sunday. However, there is one very LARGE caveat to the...

NFL News: Browns “considered” Seneca Wallace, Hardesty could start
Pat Shurmur had his chat with reporters today and discussed the decision to bring in quarterback Josh Johnson. It was top of my mind yesterday as I wondered if the Browns had talked to Seneca Wallace. He played for the Browns last year and was cut at the end of training camp this year, so it seemed like at least a logical option in the thought progression.
As it turns out, the Browns...

Former Buccaneers Haven't Fared Well This Offseason
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been going through a young movement for a few seasons now. In addition to that, if new head coach Greg Schiano doesn't think any of his players are buying into the "Buccaneer way" then they are quickly shown the door.
While some of players the Bucs got rid of seemed questionable during the time, it seems as though they made the correct...
Tolzien survives 49ers cuts, earns No. 3 QB job
Scott Tolzien had no idea where he stood in the competition to win the San Francisco 49ers third and final quarterback spot after Thursday's final preseason game against San Diego.
If it were based on the final game, that nod would have gone to Josh Johnson. Going into his fifth season, Johnson was nearly flawless against the Chargers, completing 9 of 14 passes for 125 yards...

A strong performance against reserve defenders in Thursday’s preseason finale against San Diego wasn’t enough to land Josh Johnson a job with the 49ers, who included the veteran quarterback among the list of 21 players released by the team late Friday.
