The Denver Broncos signed linebacker A.J. Johnson after he was acquitted of a 2015 rape charge.
Kyle Fredrickson of the Denver Post reported the news and shared a statement from Broncos president of football operations John Elway:
"A.J. hasn't had the opportunity to play football for the last three years while resolving a serious legal matter. We've had several conversations with him since he's been cleared and have become very familiar with his background and character. Our organization is confident A.J. is ready to move forward and resume his playing career.
