UPDATE 9/19/07: Johnson has a
strong lower body that helps him get good leverage at the point of
attack. He gets off the ball quickly, which allows him to get into gaps
to close holes on running plays. Dallas Morning News UPDATE 9/18/07: With depth concerns at nose tackle, the Cowboys are contemplating signing Johnson, but it comes with a risk. He is serving an eight-game suspension without pay for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Dallas Morning News UPDATE 9/12/07: As the Cowboys look to bolster their nose tackle position with Jason Ferguson out for the season with a torn right biceps, former Chicago Bears tackle Tank Johnson's name has come up, according to sources. Dallas Morning News UPDATE 7/5/05: Authorities in Gilbert, Ariz., informed Johnson on Thursday morning they have no plans to charge Johnson in connection with a traffic stop for driving at 3:30 a.m. June 22 for speeding and driving while slightly impaired. Blood tests revealed Johnson's blood-alcohol content was .072 -- .008 below the legal limit. Authorities could have filed DUI charges if they concluded Johnson was impaired. Chicago Tribune UPDATE 7/2/07: Johnson's blood alcohol level was .072, under the presumptive limit in Arizona of .08 percent, police Sgt. Andrew Duncan said Monday. No charges have been filed pending results of a completed investigation. Chicago Tribune UPDATE 6/25/07: Johnson flew to Chicago from his home in Arizona and Bear coach Lovie Smith gave him the news of the release in a face-to-face meeting Monday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest. Chicago Tribune UPDATE 6/24/07: If Johnson is charged with DUI, their (team president Ted Phillips, general manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith) credibility comes into serious question, not just with fans, but with commissioner Roger Goodell, who listened to pleas from the Bears before suspending Johnson after his two-month jail stint for violating terms of probation. Chicago Sun-Times UPDATE 6/24/07: Under Appendix C, Part 11 of the latest collective-bargaining agreement, NFL teams can terminate the contract of a player if he has "engaged in personal conduct reasonably judged by [the] club to adversely affect or reflect on club." One acceptable justification for releasing a player is engaging "in personal conduct which, in the reasonable judgment of the club, adversely affects or reflects on the club." Chicago Tribune UPDATE 6/23/07: In the statement, Gilbert police declined to comment or conduct interviews "to avoid the perception of grandstanding and to protect the defendant's right to a fair trial." Arizona Republic UPDATE 6/4/07: If Johnson is as serious about changing his life as he said he was after a two-month stay in Cook County Jail, his suspension could be reduced to six games if he meets certain conditions set by the league and commissioner Roger Goodell. Chicago Tribune UPDATE 3/17/07:"He really won't have regular access to the weightlifting equipment," Cunningham said. "Periodically, he might get recreation time outdoors or in a gym with that equipment, but it would be very spotty." Chicago Sun-Times UPDATYE 3/17/07: Tank Johnson's problems don't figure to be over when he finishes serving his jail sentence. Chicago Sun-Times UPDATE 3/15/07: Despite pleas for leniency by Chicago Bears head coach Lovie Smith and star football player Brian Urlacher, Bears defensive tackle Terry "Tank" Johnson was sentenced today to 120 days in jail and fined $2,500 for violating terms of his probation on a 2005 weapons conviction. Chicago Tribune UPDATE 3/7/07: Cook County prosecutors will seek jail time for Chicago Bears lineman Terry "Tank" Johnson, who pleaded guilty last month to violating the terms of his probation, according to a source familiar with the matter. Chicago Sun-Times UPDATE 2/09/07: When sentenced, the probation violation could send Johnson to jail for nearly a year, or the judge could decide to hand down more probation and a fine. Chicago Tribune UPDATE 1/09/06: Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor weapons charges Tuesday after a police raid on his home last month. Pantagraph.com UPDATE 12/14/06: He was charged with six misdemeanor counts of unlawful possession of a weapon after police found six weapons in his home. Police say he lacked a Firearm Owner's Identification Card in violation of state law. Chicago Tribune
