The ageless Brad Johnson train rolls into Dallas

If they ever build a Hall of Fame for journeymen NFL quarterbacks, Brad Johnson should be the very first inductee. The guy has logged more miles around the league in 15 seasons than Lance Armstrong tooling around France on his bike all those years. Well, that legacy opens a new chapter today because Johnson has signed with the Dallas Cowboys.

I guess Drew Bledsoe wasn’t old and slow enough for Jerry Jones’ taste. Word on the street is that Tony Romo was lobbying for the team to sign Trent Dilfer, but told a reporter that Johnson would do just fine.

Actually, it’s probably a pretty smart move by the Cowboys and big relief to Romo. If they had signed someone like Jeff Garcia, now that guy has been known to replace starting QBs, and after the way last season ended for the ‘Boys, more than a few fans might be thinking it’s time for Romo’s brief time in the sun to end. But with Johnson as the #2 on the depth chart, no one is going to be calling for a change under center, at least not until the first time Romo bobbles the snap on a game-winning field goal attempt.
