Ocho Cinco In B&G

[That Guy]

are we seriously saying we don't need CJ cause we have caldwell, el, and mix? i mean, wow. okay. sorry, but that's pretty weak.

and not hiring him cause of his agent? guess who the #1 agent rep on our team is... that's right, it's drew. guess all those other guys need to get fired now.

i can understand not liking his tantrums, but let's not mix the real reason you might not want him with piled up weak excuses.

So JLC is reporting that league observers believe it will take a 1st and 3rd round or two 2nd round picks to pry Chad Johnson away from Cincy. Assuming it does take that much to nab Chad Johnson and we pull the tigger, I am dead set against the trade. Trading 2 first day picks for a 30 year old receiver with character problems isn't wise IMO.

I agree! I don't want CJ, character and all, and certainly don't want to give up anything from this draft. We cannot reap the benefits of drafting, if we trade them all!

[SFREDSKIN]

Please, please, stay away from this guy. First he would cost too much and seems to be declining talent wise, plus we don't need another Brandon Lloyd. DS and VC use your brains and draft a receiver instead of going for the quick fix.

I personally would love to have Ocho Cinco but I am afraid it would cost us too many draft picks.

I dunno why people are so quick to compare CJ to Lloyd.

One glaringly different thing is CJ is good. Brandon Lloyd is not and if he is good, he failed to show that while here and could've really cared less.

I guarantee if we land CJ he will NOT be the CJ (attitude wise) of Cincinnati. Bank on it.

Its a headline on Mike and Mike this morning.

The Redskins are intrested in aquiring Chad Johnson from the Bengals!!!


When these type of headlines come out this time of year, knowing our need for a WR. Im inclined to believe that DS is on the hunt.

BL you better give up your jersey boy....you are outta here!!!

I think we'll give up Moss and a 1st or 2nd round pick for him...

All of our depth at solid #2,3 receivers etc... it just makes sense.

Anybody have any idea about the contract implications to a deal like this?

Please tell me your kidding. Dumbest post ever. Yea why dont we throw in Samuels just for a bonus. Why would you want to unload moss?

Let me defend my post here...

This is pure speculation, based on nothing more than the track record this team has.

I'm not saying I'd want to unload Moss (although If it meant getting CJ, I would get over it), I'm saying... if Dan Snyder was actually intent on landing Chad Johnson... I think that's the ammo it would take.

Secondly, Chad Johnson would be a a huge upgrade over Moss. Look at their numbers. I'm just stating the obvious here.

Once again, I have no idea what the contract implications would be, or even if this trade would be feasible... I'm just saying that it makes sense if we were actually trying to acquire a play maker like Chad Johnson.

It is a lot to give up for this year's draft picks but I give up next years in a heart beat. Think about Seattle traded for Deion Branch with a first round pick. Branch is no where as close as good as Chad Johnson. We need a number 1 receiver by any means necessary. Moss is on my bad side now for the way he gave up on that play in the Seattle game. I would not mind trading to Cincy along with a second round pick for Chad. I believe CJ, EL and Caldwel would be a pretty good trio in this version of our west coast offense. I really want El in the slot. Did anyone hear in the Zorn's press conference that he made a reference to El being a terrific inside receiver. We need to have size on the outside for the slants and screens along with the blocking in the run game.

No offense, but I have never quite understood the logic that a 1st round pick in the current year's draft should be worth less than a 1st round pick in the next year's draft. That short-term focus can get you into trouble.

As for Deion Branch, he was entering "his prime" when he was traded to Seattle whereas Chad Johnson will turn 30 next season. Chad likely has 2 or so years of dominant play followed by a few years of rapid decline. I'd like to have a great #1 WR, but not a 30 year old malcontent who wants booku bucks.

But, as noted earlier, this story rises only slightly above rumor and with any luck that's all it will ever be. Ahhhhh the offseason.

[heybigstar]

It all comes down to the draft picks we would give up -- I agree that Chad Johnson would be a great fit here .. but look at the top two teams in our division -- NY and DAL signed Plax and TO away without giving up any draft picks ....

[Soup's Uncle]

If we had Johnson, Moss and Randle EL as our Top 3 recievers, we would have one of the best recieving trios in the league. Then if you ad in Caldwell when we do our 4 wide sets, we'd be pretty dangerous.

I say you do this move if you don't have to give up too many draft picks and you can jettison Brandon Lloyd.
