Jarret Johnson: Newest San Diego Charger

San Diego has been very active over the last two days, signing Nick Hardwick before the start of free agency and working out deals with Robert Meachem and Jared Gaither.  San Diego has once again struck. This time working out a deal with former Raven Jarret Johnson. Johnson has emerged as one of the best OLB in the league when it comes to stopping the run. He overall doesn't have great pass rushing skills, but as per multiple people, he could form a great rotation with Antwan Barnes. Johnson is a player who has outstanding character and will bring a physical nature back to the defense. Many fans may not be too thrilled with the signing, but it makes sense. San Diego plays in a division that runs the ball..... a lot. With Jamal Charles in KC, McFadden in Oakland, and Denver's rushing attack, San Diego could use all the help they can get against the run. In my opinion, San Diego is making shrewd roster moves. This group may not end up with the flash of a Mario Williams, but they are much better than what some will give them credit for.

Here is alink to XTRA 1360 AM, where they have an interview with Jarret Johnson.  http://www.xtrasports1360.com/player/?station=KLSD-AM&program_name=podcast&mid=21908397&program_id=worldofsports.xml
