Bengals Tendering Offensive Tackle Fred Johnson, Veteran Will Return Next Season
CINCINNATI — The Bengals decided to tender offensive tackle Fred Johnson on Monday. The 24-year-old was a restricted free agent. He will return to the team on a one-year, $2.433 million contract according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Johnson was a healthy scratch for most of the 2021 season. He appeared in five games and made one start. He was on the field for 90 (29%) of the Bengals' offensive snaps.
The free agent offensive tackle market is relatively thin this year, which likely impacted the decision to keep Johnson on the roster.
