Re: Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy

Before you get excited about him coming here; take a look back at TO's career.

In his early days TO might've been a loud mouth in the SF locker room but was pretty unknown to the public. As he got more productive & became known as a big time reciever, his behavior publicly changed.

We've seen this with CJ as well, and what seems to reinforce this behavior is when a team grants their wish & trades them or lets them walk. Not that the team is making a mistake, if the guys a problem get rid of him, but at the same time it reinforces the selfish player's attitude that they should get what they want.

What we've seen the last 2 years w/CJ is that his behavior has regressed to being more egotistical & self-absorbed. He's gotten into more public arguments w/Palmer & teamates & now he's going public. It seems a downward spiral to me, the dude may not be anotehr TO, but he may sell out any team that's willing to take a chance on him, like TO did in Philly. TO's behavior only changed after he'd burned most of his bridges. CJ has a lot of bridges left to burn, I say better he do so somewhere else.
