And, what's wrong with him chasing some money? Everyone's getting paid, why not him? I think I saw a water boy clear 1.2 mil. With the way teams are throwing money away, I might try to get a spot on the team. Hell, I'll clean jock straps, and towel's everyday for 60K.

He is getting paid, he signed a deal in 06. Sometimes we forget that when a player signs a deal the commitment is both ways. The team has significant cap space invested in him & can't just cut or trade him w/out someone helping pick up the tab. I know teams cut players once they're not useful, but players do have the power to affect teams. Just look at what TO & Keyshawn did.

Who knows how this got so ugly, why does he feel "unappreciated?" There's always at least 2 sides to the story. Regardless, his talking to the press & trying to force the bengals hand makes me look at him like the girl who will cheat & leave her boyfriend to be w/you cause she's unhappy. So do you think that girl is going to be loyal to you?

CJ is that girl.
