If I was the Bengals I would have turned it down. You are trading a dominant player at his position, for the hopes of drafting a replacement. The vikings did this with Randy Moss for the 7th pick in the draft and even then they couldnt find a replacement. Its a gamble.

Of course Chad doesnt watn to be there, but I think they are better off trying to prove to him they want to win and getting him to change his attitude.

Is there any receiver at 21 in this years draft that could have a more immediate impact than CJ? Time will tell...but probably not in the near term
