The average career in the league is 2 years, and the average career span for superstars is about 10 - 12. People dont last forever in the league, and when you hate on someone for trying to get to the superbowl while he's in his prime is a fucking joke. whatever

I still don't understand why Cincy didn't trade him. They had a mediocre draft, which would have been much better had they traded him for a first rounder or multiple later rounders. I don't know why teams insist on keeping players than don't want to play for them. When teams have no use for a player they cut them, and there's never an outcry from the fans about the team not honoring the contract. Likewise, players that don't want to play for a team (which as much as an a-hole Johnson is, he is right by wanting to get the hell out of Cincy) should be able to leave. I mean would any of us have liked if the Skins kept Lloyd? Archuleta? L. Coles? Granted that Archuleta and Coles sucked, but still the idea is to let players who want to leave the team, leave (and with Coles we got compensation in the way of S. Moss).
