"It didn't take long for several departed Cincinnati Bengals to find work.

Rudi Johnson, who didn't play one down during the pre-season, has signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions.

You have to think that former Bengals' quarterback Jon Kitna, went to bat on behalf of his former teammate, as they sought to beef up their running game.

Cornerback Deltha O'Neal meanwhile, has signed a contract with the New England Patriots.

Head Coach Bill Belicheck says the organization prides itself on identifying players from other teams, who would fit into their scheme, if they were ever released.

O'Neal, the two-time All-Pro, fit the profile and so he's now a Patriot.

Bengals.com is reporting that Willie Anderson has been contacted by among other teams, the Baltimore Ravens.

How ironic would it be, if Willie reached terms on a contract to play for Cincinnati's opening day opponent?"
