Similar to the role Larry Johnson played during the second half of 2009, the Bengals are searching for a veteran running back.
Brian Leonard and Bernard Scott are perfect spot players, but the Bengals need a backup for Cedric Benson, which would seem to suggest they?ll go with four running backs and one fullback.

Bengals, Williams Agree To Contract
Right guard Bobbie Williams has agreed to a two-year deal to stay with the Bengals, allowing them to keep their offensive line intact from last season.
The lineman started all 17 games at right guard in 2009, including a playoff loss to the Jets.
Owens Might Be Too Expensive For Bengals
There is still a possibility that the Bengals could covet wide receiver Terrell Owens if he's available after the draft, but the chances are remote.
Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com writes, "I give it only a 15 or 20 percent chance for a variety of reasons. The major thing being the money. T.O. sounds like he?s pretty adamant on $5 million, but he may choose to hang on until training camp to see what transpires."
