Johnson is demanding a trade and stated he will not show up for any Bengal meetings, practices, or other activities. He is egotistical and a pre madonna, but he produces. He never gets into in any real trouble outside of the lines he just wants to win and he likes to celebrate. He is a huge difference maker. I know there is no way in the world that Nolan will make a move for him or would support an acquisition of one of the most productive receivers over the past five years but it would be nice.

offer?

What do you think it would take to get Johnson? I must admit I enjoy watching him play, but there are plenty of headaches, that's for sure.

Rumor has it...

That a team has already offered two (2) first day picks to the Bengals for Johnson and that the Bengals have basically passed. If that rumor has any merit it should put the Niners out of the running.

Honestly, I say [expletive] Chad Johnson. If he didn't want to play for the Bengals he shouldn't have signed the 6 year $35.5M contract he did with them two years ago. I'm tired of these athletes bitching about the contracts that they sign. Anyways, I'd rather over pay for Roy Williams next year and keep my draft picks this year.

Lastly, I doubt the Bengals trade him as they would take an $8M cap hit if they did. They'd probably be better off if Johnson held out.

Here's to hoping Albert Hanyesworth stomps on Alex Smith's head.

WOW

Only the first and second round are on the first day this year. I highly doubt that Cincy would not accept a 1st and 2nd rounder for CJ.

The 07 SPYtriots would be 13 point DOGS vs the 89 NINERS,,,and SF would still cover by 10 points!!!

It's possible

That two (2) second rounds picks were offered. Off of the top of my head I think Atlanta has three (3) second round picks. It's also possible that an '08 second round pick was offered with an '09 second round pick. I really think the Bengals ~~might~~should stick it to Chad and force him to play under his current contract.

The Dolphins and Packers

also have two (2) second round picks.

It IS possible.

I think it IS possible that the Bengals would pass on a first and second round pick for Johnson. Regardless of what happens (whether he stays or not), the Bengals are on the hook for the remaining bonus money. If they traded him away for a first and second, they would still incur that $8M cap hit AND have to sign TWO first rounders and TWO second rounders.

I don't know for sure, but I think the Bengals are already a little low in excess cap space, so they'd be in a world of hurt. So it's really unlikely they trade him. As Braekneck said, they'd be better off risking him not playing at all.

Besides, what the heck would the 49ers do with Johnson if Jonas Jennings or Eric Heitmann were to go down with injury? The 49ers lack of depth on the offensive line is a real problem and the team definitely needs to address that with one of it's first two picks. If it fails to do so (because they traded both picks away), they will have squandered one of the few opportunities a team has at drafting a franchise offensive tackle for a very minimal amount of money.

2nd Rounder???????

I would think that they would let him go for a second round draft pick. I do know that every play on the Eddie D 49ers was not a quire boy or soft spoken and humble. As a matter of fact I truly believe that THE DISEASE would be just as loud obnoxious/entertaining as any of the other top tier / pre madonna receivers of today. I know that Rice is the greatest of all time and he never felt the need to act like that. But ever since Michael Irvin there have been quite a few outlandish wide receivers last year five of the eight receivers selected to the pro bowl all LOVE to be the center of attention. T.O, Braylon Edwards, Donald Driver, Randy Moss, and oh yea Chad Johnson.

The 07 SPYtriots would be 13 point DOGS vs the 89 NINERS,,,and SF would still cover by 10 points!!!

pre madonna?

hahahaha. i dont know if that was intentional or not, but it made my night. if it wasnt intentionl its prima donna, as in an female star opera singer, i think. but definitely not as in an a pop star who needs to quit.

But

The world was a very different place pre Madonna.

Braekneck

His comment about not losing the draft picks and waiting to bid on Roy Williams next year is an idea I can get onboard with.

Part of the problem I see with guys like Chad is that if they're unhappy one place, what makes them think they'll be any happier anywhere else? Terell Owens wanted out of SF, and was happy for a year in Philly. Then the wheels came flying off. Randy Moss was unhappy in Minnesota, and later was unhappy in LA. The only reason he became happy at all was because he went to a team that barely knew how to lose. With Moss in New England, Johnson wouldn't be happy there, because he wouldn't be the man. In SF, he'd be the man, but this is a team that should be happy to just make the playoffs. If you're a team just trying to get back to playoff contention, you're probably not the place for a known malcontent like CJ.

I think your best bet is to let someone like him pass by. While it's good that he's law-abiding citizen, so was ol' Terell.

Thinking of giving up sports and taking up heavy drinking.
