Free-agent linebacker Aaron Maybin joined his third NFL team in five years Friday when he signed with the Cincinnati Bengals.

The team did not announce terms of the contract, but Maybin will be added to the active roster on Feb. 4.

Buffalo’s 2009 first-round draft pick spent two mostly unproductive seasons with the Bills before signing as a free agent with the Jets.

In 2011, Maybin led the Jets with six sacks and four forced fumbles, but he managed only four tackles in eight games this past season and was released on Nov. 13.
