Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy

Well if Moss is the precedent, then no.

If not, then yes I would seriously consider it. I saw a lot of Lions games this year and, while he has his faults, he's still IMO an elite WR.

Of course, this would cause serious backlash among the fan base for trading a draft pick. But I think we can still fill many of our needs even if we trade for him.

Moss can't be the precedent. He was given away and I have no idea why. A better precedent might be Wes Welker (2nd and 7th) or Javon Walker (2nd). I'd be pretty happy to see Roy Williams in Washington. I've not been a fan of trading draft picks, but I guarantee there won't be any 6-3 WRs with Williams' speed in the 2nd round . . . He's not Brandon Lloyd and he's 26 years old.

Good point about Javon Walker & Wes Welker. The Pats straight up stole Randy Moss. They also traded Deion Branch to the Seahawks a couple of seasons ago for a first rounder. So I think that Randy Moss deal was more of an anomaly than a precedent.

All that being said and a weak WR draft class, I think Roy Williams for a #2 would be a decent deal. Maybe, Chad Johnson on the trading block as well will lessen their values in a trade. Amazing that two elite receivers are on the trade market. How can the Danny resist?

Also, would a Limas Sweed, Adarius Bowman or a Mario Manningham be a better acquisition than Roy Williams? We'd be lucky if one of those guys is still around when our #2 selection comes up. If upgrading the WR position is a priority, I'd rather do it with this trade.
