The Bengals signed veteran backup quarterback Josh Johnson on Thursday, the organization announced.
Johnson was drafted in the fifth round by the Buccaneers in 2008 but mostly served in a backup role. He did start one game with the Bucs in 2011, filling in for an injured Josh Freeman. Once his time in Tampa Bay was up, he bounced around with the Bengals, Browns and 49ers in consecutive seasons from 2012-2014.
Johnson was with the Bengals for the 2013 season. He was active each game that season, backing up Andy Dalton.
