Source: Cincinnati Bengals waive OL Fred Johnson less than an hour after signing him

CINCINNATI - Fred Johnson is back in free agency limbo.

Less than an hour after the Cincinnati Bengals announced the reserve offensive tackle had signed a 1-year deal with the team, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Johnson was waived.

It's the latest move for a franchise that has spent the early part of free agency retooling one of the NFL's worst offensive lines.

In the first seven days of free agency, Cincinnati added three starters - guard Alex Cappa, center Ted Karras and offensive tackle La'el Collins, who will be formally introduced in a news conference on Tuesday.
