Rudi on the rocks (with no ice)

Word reaches us that Rudi Johnson, Cincinatti's starting Running Back since 2004, is set to be cut.

Johnson has been severely hampered by injuries during the last two years, and it's no real surprise that the team opted to release him. Both parties tried to get a trade done before today, but putting our 'GM hat' on, you'd have to wonder why anyone would take on Johnson's $3.45m salary just days before the Bungles would be faced with a decision of whether to keep him on the roster.

So now Johnson joins Shaun Alexander as a Free Agent RB with a little bit too much wear on the tyres for most team's to take a chance on him.
