Rudi will be in minicamp
By Mark Curnutte
The Cincinnati Enquirer
Bengals No. 1 tailback Rudi Johnson has said he would join veterans in Cincinnati after the team's rookie minicamp next weekend.
Johnson, a restricted free agent, also said he would, "in the next few days," sign the one-year tender offer of $1.824 million extended by the Bengals on March 1, according to the team-owned Web site.
Johnson and Peter Schaffer, his agent, continue to say Johnson would prefer to sign a multi-year contract and retire a Bengal.
The Bengals used their first-round pick in last weekend's draft on Michigan running back Chris Perry.
Other veteran backs on the roster are Kenny Watson, Skip Hicks and Herbert Goodman.
