Chad Johnson is a great talent and would upgrade the offense but at what cost. I don't think it's worth it to give up two draft picks and a hefty salary for one player. That's why the Redskins are in salary cap hell now. At some point in time, the organization has to be fiscally responsible and stop dishing out crazy contracts to free agents. Their success rate for free agents is no better than the draft. The draft is a lot less expensive. The Redskins need to concentrate on the draft and stop going after the overpriced free agents.

It will be a different story once the signing bonus Rosenhaus negotiates with Snyder is cashed. I would take anything that comes out of CJ's mouth at this point with a "shaker" of salt. Anything he says about "interest in a certain team" is coming from Rosenhaus and is designed to get him out of Cincy.
True I agree about Rosenhaus, but we are not the Colts, Pats, Eagles, Seahawks teams that pretty much make the playoffs every year we want to but we aren't a winning team like that and he knows that.

you guys realize the bengals want either 1st and 3rd or 2 2nds. no way im willing to give that up for the new TO
I believe that players would be involved in this b/c it is too steep of a deal Snyder has not denied it so I think something will happen with this.

Ocho Cinco is interested in one thing........and that is the monster contracts that Dan Snyder historically pays out.
I agree. I'm really, REALLY tired of his antics. I used to think his shenanigans were cheeky and fun. It's become clear that when someone catches more TDs than he does (Housh), and the team struggles, the real number 85 emerges. Evil shenanigans. Crybaby bullshit. I definitely want to add a big WR, but if we piss away our draft for a 30 year old me first attention hog... I'll put my head through a wall to say the least. Just say no to ocho stinko.

are you crazy comparing b loyd to CJ thats like comparing Tom Brady to Brad Johnson
I didn't compare Brandon Lloyd to Chad Johnson. I simply said free agent WRs are not a sure-thing.
As for Chad, I said in a previous post that he likely has several years of Pro Bowl caliber play. I would never intentionally imply that he is anything like Brandon Lloyd.

The guy is 30 years old. How many more years is he going to play at the level he's play at now? 1-2 more years? No way am I giving up a any high draft picks for this guy. I prey to god we don't make this move.

TO is 34 and still playing great.
Chad is 30, there's no reason to think he can't keep this up for another 4-5 years.

I don't know if I'd put CJ on TO's level. He close though. But to me the risk outweighs the reward. It's going to take a #1 pick and a ton of cash. To me WR's can be found in the draft, kind of like how GB did it. I'd MUCH rather get some O-line help or a pass rushing DE. In the end the games are always won and lost in the trenches and the NYG proved that in the SB by whipping the Pats o-line.

I wasn't try to compare the two, just saying that it's not uncommon for WRs to play well into their mid 30s.
I'm not hot on the idea of dealing for him either.
