Linebacker Landon Johnson ended his free agency with a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions, according to what his agent Andy Simms announced on his Twitter page Friday. Whether he could continue wearing the Lions jersey following the 2010 season will depend on how he performs during the season.
Johnson, an unrestricted free agent, spent the last two seasons with the Carolina Panthers and had 36 tackles in 25 games. Before that, Johnson played for the Cincinnati Bengals -- who drafted him in the third round in 2004 -- and started all 16 games in 2006 and 2007, compiling more than 100 tackles each season.
While starting 53 games in four seasons with the Bengals from 2004 to 2007, Johnson only started three of the 25 games he played with the Panthers during the last two seasons. But he is still expected to help the Lions a lot as the team has lost Larry Foote to the Pittsburgh Steelers during the free agency.
