On the Bengals where being arrested has become a rite of passage, the one fairly clean Bengal Rudi Johnson has been cut. Despite showing up to camp in great physical shape, the team decided it was time to sever ties with the perennial 1400-yard, 12 TD-a-year rusher.
Due to overworking, his performance diminished to a lowly 2.9 yards per carry last season. Cincinnati will start Chris Perry at halfback with Kenny Watson sharing some carries.
A number of teams can pounce on this new free agent, most notably the Houston Texans, who plan to start way-over-the-hill Ahman Green at HB, with 2 injured backups behind him (Steve Slaton and Chris Brown). The addition of Johnson would keep both rushers healthy if they split the carries.
Also cut by the Bengals today were cornerback Deltha O'Neal and O-Lineman Willie Anderson (both Pro-Bowlers).

I was surprised the Bengals didn't pounce on Adam "The Artist Formerly Known as Pac-Man" Jones or Tank Johnson. They need to make sure they can field a team on the defensive side for their game versus Sing-Sing prison. By the way, this site is hilarious, kudos.
