Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

I think the reasons to not bring CJ here are cost related. As for those questioning his character and work-ethic, I think there's a big difference between TO and CHad. I don't see him coming here but if it was possible it would be for the tremendous benefit of this team.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

I wouldn't mind getting Chad Johnson.
He's a classy guy who has very elite skills. He doesn't cause problems in the locker room or outside of the locker room.

I'm sure Dan wouldn't mind trading in our #85 for that #85.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

No prime donas now guys. Chad is a beast, but do we really need locker room crap to go on between him and Moss and Randle El? Plus the money we will be dishing out would be HUGE!!!!! It would consist of lots of $$$$$$$$$ and some draft picks for sure to get him from Cincy, unless his contract is up. Can't we have a decent draft for a change and use that to build a squad? Caldwell and Randle El came along fine. McCardell did well also for us, but like everyone mentions he is old. Use a pick to get one WR and we are set. Use the rest for linemen and DBs.

I wouldn't mind Chad J if he'd keep his trap shut and leave the antics in Cincy.

I agree.

As for his charity work compared to that of the Redskins. The Redskins players each do plenty of charity work (some much more than others of course), but the best charity work is the kind that doesn't have to be advertised. Not saying CJ is promoting his own charity work. Just saying just because you don't hear about someone doing charity doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

What leads you to think CJ will have beef with our other WRs? Chad is used to being around other top flight WRs, and every WR around him seems to get better. He was teammates with Steve Smith (carolina) in junior college, and has done nothing but help TJ and Chris Henry on the field.

I totally understand the money argument. That makes sense. But I don't understand this cancer crap. This guy enjoy what he does!

Exactly, he is not a cancer where are you people seeing this tell me I must be blind. What has he done to be a cancer?

Too many egos on one team. It would never work. I am pretty much convinced that two number 1 receivers on one team, rarely work.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

i would take him in a second, if the price was right

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

hey if you don't want him we'll take him lol.. seriously I think pretty much any team would be happy to take him. He brings talent, excitement, and he's not a bad guy like people here are pointing out. People really like watching him play.... I just hope that the Patriots don't get him too LOL I wouldn't want to see him on any team that i hate because he's really a talented guy

I'm sure if we did end up picking him up, people around here wouldn't be saying they don't want him. If we did pick him up and the guy delivered next year as a solid and consistent #1, everyone will be singing his praises about what a great acquisition he is.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

we can use him....imagine moss and him together..they'll torch any team

You would think the same thing about him and T.J. with a pretty good QB but they didn't even make it to the playoffs. They're defense wasn't a big help but they had games were they had trouble just scoring 10-13 points

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

I doubt the Redskins will pick him up. Dan Snyder doesn't pick up idiots like Chad Johnson that brings drama to the locker room and acts like a moron on the field. No thanks.

Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy
 

You think the cancer in the locker room cliche would be put to rest by now. We've seen two cancers take their team to the next level: TO & Randy Moss. There's no trouble in the locker room now because they're winning. A successful season quiets any malcontent.

Any competitive person that has performed at the level of a Chad Johnson, on and off the field, year in and year out, and only has a 1st round playoff loss to show for it would be understandably upset. Cincy has not brought in the personnel to win but instead been a revolving door for criminals and thugs. They inexplicably pass every down, short yardage or long. And rather than question the FO or the coach, the best player on the team is blamed because he celebrates the few quality plays of a poor team. I think this slamming of Chad Johnson buys Marvin Lewis another season or two, while he should be the one called out on the carpet, not Chad.

The Skins should definitely try to make a move for him. Yes, still give Mix a chance. Bur CJ is going to be the equivalent of what Reche Caldwell and Keenan McCardell were for us this season times ten. He'll move the chains and make the big catches. Also, he'll help spread out the secondary more than Reche and Keenan would. So, Santana and ARE would get open more deep. He'll definitely be a positive piece of the offense, and his acquisition would result in greater offensive production. I don't think we'd be limited to just Chris Cooley in the redzone with Chad on the team.

I say make the move if we can clear salary cap space.
