Too many egos on one team. It would never work. I am pretty much convinced that two number 1 receivers on one team, rarely work.

In this case I think you're right, but imagine having to coach T.O. and CJ.

What a nightmare to have to share a locker room with those two together. Neither one would want to take a backseat or share the spotlight.

Dallas with TO and Johnson would be scary. And the Skins with Moss and Johnson would also be scary (in a good way, at least in terms of talent on the field). I just don't see us taking on his baggage.

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.

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!

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!!!

Well I certainly hope over the last four years if anything Dan has learned something about character. You don't want a time bomb in your locker room, this boy is a ALL ME nut case, leaving the EGO at the door will never happen!

If we have the right coach in position, I don't think they would touch him with a ten foot pole!

And WIN WIN explain? Last I checked we have no problem filling the stadium right now.

I agree we need an upgrade in size at the WR position. But I do not not not think CJ is the answer. Too expensive, too egotistical. I just don't think he'd fit in our locker room.

This team is bonded after what happened to us the last 5 weeks of the season. I hope Danny realizes that the personnel and coaching staff don't need to be blown up. A little tinkering and a few adjustments? Sure. But there's no need for extreme changes. Kinda like when Tomlin came into to Pittsburgh replacing a legend. He kept the personnel, kept the D-coordinator, and kept the smash-mouth style. Willie Parker had more carries than any back in the league. And they went to playoffs again. He understood. If ain't broke, don't fix it.

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.

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 realy believe that this could work in our favor. He is entertaining yet put up top numbers. He would be our number 1 receiver, with moss no. 2 and randle el in the slot with cooley down the middle and portis on the draws. It sounds amazing to me with Saunders calling the plays with no handcuffs. Things like this never works out for us. We make trades that don't make sense (except for LG Kendall) but we won't this time because it makes sense. Synder please do what you do and bring Johnson here.

Chad Johnson is one of the few players in this league that seems to embrace what he does. He plays football, he plays it well, and he has fun. He brings fun to the fans and his teammates, and his celebrations rarely hurt the team. This guy is a class act, he does tons of charity work in Cincinatti, much more than I've heard of any current Redskins doing.

I would listen to Chad Johnson almost every week on Sirius NFL radio, and he couldn't care less about himself. All he wanted to talk about were his teammates and his team. He admitted he needed to step it up and said he didn't care if he wasn't getting a single catch every game as long as he was helping his team.

Chad says most nights he's in bed by 10PM, he's not out clubbing. He's not involved in shady activities. I don't think we can afford him, but he would make this team instantly better. We'd actually have a WR they have to roll coverage to which would open up everyone else and especially cooley.

Thank you about time someone said the truth about CJ an does have plenty of charity for kids & the community. I don't think he is all about himself and the comparsion to T.O. is crazy. Does anyone have a sense of humor. Look I don't care if he lands in D.C. or not I just feel he shouldn't be judged for nothing. He is a passionate player so you will see him talking to Carson about things on the sideline. You heard Carson say I he thinks there should be a coach change. He damn sure didn't say he wanted CJ to leave and he could have because he is not a problem or the problem in Cincy. He is a class act and the fact that he is 30 doesn't mean nothing Marvin Harrison is what 35 hell if CJ can last that long (He can) that will be worth the investment. If Synder doesn't get him fine but who ever does will get one hell of a player.

[Daseal]

As I said, I think he's got 1 MORE year of being really good before he shows signs of age. That doesn't mean after 1 year he'll be worthless, just that he'll naturally slow down.

Slow down like Joey Galloway? It's hard to say when WRs will slow down. And if you're right, the typical backloaded Redskins contract would work perfectly for him.
