Chad Johnson Wants Out of Cincy

[Redskin Warrior]

He was just on Mike & Mike in the morning (ESPN) and reported no one came to his defense during this season. He also said Cincy should get rid of the so called cancer in the locker room. He stated that he doesn't get in trouble off the field, he puts up his numbers on the field, just wants to have fun that's it & it personally hurt him when members of the Bengals organization (F.O.) accused his celebrations & interviews to be the reason they are losing. He didn't flat out say I don't want to be in Cincy, he was asked if he wanted to come back he said we'll see what happens & repeated get rid of the cancer or problem maker and make the playoffs. You can read between the lines. Personally they just pissed off there best player.

I think Chad is too much into himself. He wants out because he saw Randy and T.O. end up with contenders and he thinks he deserves it too. I wonder if he would go to a team like the Raiders since he wants out so bad?

[MonkFan4Life]

I'd take him in a heartbeat. I know that he'll cost and I'm not saying that I'd take him no matter the cost or anything like that. I'm just saying that I like him as a player and wouldn't mind him being with the Skins.

[BleedBurgundy]

I don't want him, but i don't want the eagles, giants or cowboys to have him either...

If he walks, I could see him coming to the East - yes, Dallas included.

Yea but the ball is in his court now he knows they won't keep him if he is unhappy. I don't see anything wrong with Chad and the way he acts. 6 years in the league each year over 1000 each year lead the NFL 3 of the 6 years in yardage. If he puts up numbers I don't care what he does on the field. Bengals should be happy he is scoring TD's hell there are plenty of "big time receiver" doing nothing getting big money "Brandon Lloyd"

A 30 year-old manlcontent who routinely draws 15 yard penalties, despite knowing in advance that such celebrations will draw such penalties? No thanks. I'd rather try to get Art Monk to come out of retirement.

Chad would instantly give us a reliable reciever with good hands, speed and size. That would open up the rest of the offense.

I would love to see him in burgundy and gold.

I'll second that! NO THANKS.

No cancer in the locker room in DC. Give a kid like Mix a shot. I personally think we are in pretty good shape at WR.

Even if we did need help (which I don't think we do), I would pass on his services!

What a nightmare to have to cover T.O. and Johnson at the same time...

Will Synder pass? CJ is a great player upgrade no doubt plus his the type of player that entertains that puts people in the stands more money. To be honest it's a win win for Synder!!!

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.

I would welcome that. Two egos in the same locker room? They'd end up pissing someone off for failing to get the ball to them enough.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to go to the Raiders.

I wish Moss was still there tho. Then maybe I wouldn't be seeing something about the Pats every time I turn on a sports channel.

Unless TO retires, Chad will never be a Cowboy. No room for two egos that size in the same receiving corps. Can you imagine what would happen the first time a reporter asked either of them who the team's #1 WR is?

That said, I could definitely see him on the Eagles. Ick.
