Bengals Unlikely To Retain Michael Johnson

Sep 30, 2014 11:44 PM

Michael Johnson is unlikely to return to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014.

Johnson played the 2013 season on the one-year franchise tender of $11.175 million.

The Bengals have given large contracts to Johnson's defensive line teammates, Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap.

Johnson had just 3.5 sacks in 2013 compared to 11.5 in 2012.

Bernard: Bengals Going To Have 'Craziest Playbook Ever' Under Jackson

Sep 30, 2014 11:30 PM

Giovani Bernard and BenJarvus Green-Ellis are looking forward to working with new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson.

The Cincinnati Bengals are expected to move toward a more ground-and-pound approach.

"For me and Benny, I think we've done a good job thus far. I think we can continue to keep doing a good job," Bernard said. "We just got to go into it with an open mind, and he's (Jackson) going to create this craziest playbook ever, but it's going to be fun. I'm excited for it."

Jackson replaces Jay Gruden and will certainly run a different style and energy.

"He was our running back coach and one thing I learned from him is that he brings a different intensity to the position group that he coaches," Bernard said. "Now because he's going to take over the OC job he's going to bring that entire intensity that us running backs were under during practice, he's going to bring that to the entire offense. I think it will spread out to the team and help us."
