MJ cut by Bengals

My guess is that Cincinnati is where he will finish his career. Don't think he will get a ring but playing on the same team for all but year is still a good thing.

Agreed... thanks for the link. I realize its a hometown paper, but still some really complimentary things said in there about MJ.
There might not be a more trustworthy, rational individual in the NFL than Michael Johnson. ... [H]e was voted a team captain again on Monday. ...

Even with the most trustworthy, it is still bringing a ton of risk into play. It only takes one team jumping in with an offer and he could choose a different home. When the move hit the headlines on Saturday, there were multiple calls from teams to Johnson’s camp with significant interest.
...

Yet, there is as much respect between Johnson and the Bengals as any player and team in the league. It’s a big part of why he chose to return to Cincinnati in 2015 after a year away in Tampa Bay. The Bengals didn’t want to treat Johnson like that, so they essentially gave him the same deal they terminated on Saturday. Johnson, in turn, passed on other opportunities and took this one-year contract to return to the Bengals.
