Tank Johnson and his agent have reached a two-year agreement with the Dallas Cowboys just 10 minutes prior to a deadline the Cowboys had set. Johnson will immediately begin serving his 8 game suspension and will be available sometime during midseason. The Cowboys have been in need of a nose tackle ever since Jason Ferguson went down with a season ending biceps injury in Dallas' opening day win over the New York Giants.
The Chicago Bears waived Tank Johnson on June 25, three days after he was pulled over by police in Arizona. Prior to his run in with the police in Arizona Johnson had served a 2 month prison sentence after a raid on his home found enough weapons to arm a small militia. Johnson had previously told reporters on May 18 that he would become the NFL's Man of the Year.
