Ocho Cinco In B&G

and yea johnson is not doubt a elite receiver, but why do the redskins need to reward a player who would like to come to this team just for the big pay day. Why do we need to blow up our payroll for this one player?

the detroit press reported that he was available for a second round pick, i dont have the link to attach but the link can be found on one of these 21 pages.
If we could get Roy Williams for a 2nd round pick, I think that's a no-brainer. But I'd need to see the link. Everything I've seen sounds like they are looking for a major deal to trade him.

I voted no, only because of the potential attitude disruptions and the overpaid price the skins are likely to pay....I do agree that someone like him would be a good catch

Marvin Lewis maintains the Bengals have no intention of trading CJ. That he's still under contract to the team.

What is the contract status of CJ, is still under contract with the Bengals or is he about to become an URFA? I'm curious that any talks of trade for him at this time is/or is not borderline flirting with the tampering rule

CJ is under contract until 2011

It takes two to make a trade.
Washington may want to trade for CJ, but the Bengals want nothing to do with it. The Benglas have strongly denied anything regarding trading CJ. And they have stated that Johnson is under contract with them until 2011, and will remain under contract. Marvin Lewis has stated publicly that Johnson will NOT be traded, that he will play in Cincy next season.

If the Bengals trade CJ, the Bengals will take an IMMEDIATE 8 mill dollar hit against their cap.

Bengals will NOT trade Ocho-Cinco. He will be in a Bengals uniform next season.

Hurts (given the Avatar) but I've gotta agree. the Washington Post reports that the Redskins are interested but they didnt say anything about Cincy being interested.

All I want to know is: How you can begin talking contract with a player already under contract with another team? League rules do not permit that.

hope you're right sand, but

1) don't put too much stock into what the bengals brass is saying, that's part of postering to gian leverage if they do deal him,
2) If I'm correct, can't a team agree to take on the cap hit in a trade? I know it's all subject to the individual deal, but I recall us & the Jets negotiating this when we traded coles for Moss. Ditto last year when we sent Arch to the Bears, they took some of the cap hit/bonus.

If you're right that it's an 8mil cap hit (what's yo source?) that might even be too much for the danny & his crack team of capologists to manoever around.

What about this scenario, CJ acts a fool during the season & the Bengals choose to deal him rather than keyshawn him. Wonder what the price would be then?

Look like Dallas is already sweating at just the mention of us getting him, lol I love it. Anyway it sounds like CJ is pretty intent on wanting a trade, so if he wants out that badly I'm sure he can cook up some way of getting out of cincy. Wasn't it Briggs who vowed not to play in Chicago if he wasn't traded last year, and yes he did end up staying and playing. But I think CJ is the type that doesn't bluff. I hope we do get him, then we'll finally have a solid #2 in Moss. But I wonder if this pisses Moss off????
