Chargers reel in LB Johnson: The Chargers have agreed to a four-year contract with linebacker Jarret Johnson. Johnson, a nine year vet, has not missed a game since 2003. Johnson has only four sacks over the past two seasons, but that could possibly be attributed to what his responsibilities were in Baltimore's defensive scheme. "I drop in coverage a lot," Johnson said. "That is not an excuse. I would love to see my sack totals go up. That is always something I want to improve on." (Updated 03/19/2012)
