Bengals announce signing of another draft pick

The Cincinnati Bengals got a sixth draft pick under contract on Monday.

There, the team announced the signing of defensive end Cedric Johnson, one of its two sixth-round picks and one of 10 overall.

Johnson, a promising edge prospect, has a chance to compete for the final 53-man roster this summer.

He joins the following rookies who have already signed their deals with the team:

• DT McKinnley Jackson

• CB Josh Newton

• TE Tanner McLachlan

• S Daijahn Anthony

• C Matt Lee

This means the Bengals have four players left to sign as of this writing, including first-rounder Amarius Mims, second-rounder Kris Jenkins and third-rounder Jermaine Burton.
