According to PFT's Mike Florio, the terms aren't yet known. Previous reporting suggested a one-year deal for the veteran minimum. Under the labor agreement, Johnson will be able to keep any pay from the Bengals and the balance of his $4.55 million salary from the Chiefs. ... Meanwhile, as previously noted, HC Marvin Lewis has suggested Johnson is on board as insurance -- although Cedric Benson's current hip injury isn't believed to be serious. ... One last note: Johnson posted the following note on his Facebook page Monday night: "Gonna gallop all over the Chiefs. Cleat prints on the chests. Mud in the face masks." The Bengals play the Chiefs on Dec. 27.
