Re: Trading #85
 

Gibbs likely wouldn't want him, especially w/a young qb just starting to come into his own.

I bet JJ makes a play for him on the Cowpokes. They will look at it as the "final piece."

Re: Trading #85
 

I disagree I think Gibbs would love a hardworking WR that will catch the ball & wants the ball every down and every game plus a team player.

[quote=TheBigD;368894]WHAT! 2 first round picks, who is this Ocho Cinco you speak of? He is a good player, no doubt, but no reciever would be traded for 2 first round picks.[/quote]

Joey Galloway to the Cowboys for 2 first rounders ring a bell?

Until maybe 2 years ago I'd agree, but in that time CJ has let all of the attention go to his head. He started keeping track of all the cb's in the season & writing it down that they couldn't stop him. The press interviewed him cause he was always willing to talk. By self promotion he's become a big star in a small market.

Lately though, his hard work is overshadowed by his mouth on & off the field. There were reports of him causing a scene in the locker room at half of their playoff game v. pitt a couple years ago. When a player starts to draw that much attention to himself on the sideline on a regular basis you have to question the guy's concept of the team.

We've got our own problems w/a #85, let's get rid of him & not bring in another problem w/the same #.

Re: Trading #85
 

I think the answer is no. We have talent at WR but can't get everyone involved for whatever reason. Let's build some more peices to puzzle rather than giving away more draft picks.

that was a no. of years ago though & since then the market for trades has really changed. Teams show a lot more value for draft picks than vets.

I think it's just a result of teams learning how to work w/in the cap & free agency as the system's gotten older.

Also, in the cap era there are really only 2 main reasons to trade a guy:
1) he's at the end of his deal & you don't plan to re-sign him
2) he's a problem

Of course you can always say you want picks to get younger, etc. but even then the cap hit has to make sense since trades escalate bonus $.

Re: Trading #85
 

Id rather have TJ than him.....plus we don't pass the ball enough to make a guy like chad happy.....He would be a goat within his first five games and barely see the field due to his attitude and disrespect toward gibbs and williams......not a redskin at all

Isn't that all in fun? I do agree he did put himself out there but didn't distract anybody he made the actually football games interesting more than himself.

How funny would TO and CJ be on the same sideline?

Re: Trading #85
 

As a player, Chad Johnson is great. To me, his antics and humor help keep things light.

I wouldn't mind if the redskins traded for him. My issue is - how the redskins go about the whole trading processing. They just seem too eager for a player that they are interested in and they don't seem good at hiding it (eagerness and interest).

My philosophy on deals is - who ever sets the first offer amount (whether it be the dealer or dealee, not a word? ;) ) usually gets the short end of the stick.

[QUOTE=dmek25;368874]i thought you were referring to Brandon Lloyd, no way Chad Johnson ends up in D.C.[/QUOTE]

You are right dmek! No way the B&G trade FOR #85. Now the title of the thread reads TRADING #85, and yes, I'm all for that in order to rid our WR corps of BL, but unfortunately the trade deadline has past!

Re: Trading #85
 

If we can somehow get Chad Johnson and keep our first round pick for this year I am all for it. I would give up a second and a 4th for him, and use my first rounder on Chris Long out of virginia or derrick Harvey out of florida and use my third rounder on the best available offensive or defensive lineman

I clearly stated at the end of the season the Bengals would consider trading #85 plus BL isn't referred as #85 it more like garbage!!!

How did [I]you[/I] get all those picks? ;)

I agree. I would love to have CJ on this team. I think he's a team player all the way. However, I can understand how some perceive him to be a malcontent.

Chad Johnson is not a team distraction The Media just needs to point the finger at someone for their terrible start to the season and Chad Johnson is the star so finger pointed.

And to the person who said they would rather have TJ Houshmanzadeh than Chad that is assanine.
