As long as we bring in young free agents in their prime to play key positions on the D-Line like Antwaan Odom and then use the remaing draft picks on offensive lineman then the Chad Johnson trade would be ok in my book.

[LandrySlice]

Let's go ahead and face reality, WE ARE NOT GETTING CHAD JOHNSON! BENGALS WOULD LOOSE TOO MUCH AND WE WON'T GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT!

[Monkeydad]

Lose. The most-often misspelled word on the internet.

he's not replacing moss. he's replacing el... or he's displacing moss who's displacing el, who's displacing caldwell. I agree the money won't be great, but he'll make life easier on the entire offense, not just his spot.

and while welker helped the patriots quite a bit, it was a lot easier for him to do so with brady, moss, watson, faulk, stallworth, etc out there leaving him with less attention.

and its impossible to judge a draft pick vs a proven commidity, but i have noticed everyone seems to vastly overvalue the potential of draft picks versus the reality of draft results. I do agree our OL is very near the end of its useful life as is, and that something needs to be done about it.

Well, we just extended Randle El, so I don't think he's on the ropes or anything. Based on last year's production, Randle El is the better of the two, by a lot, so my point only gets stronger if that's the case.

Welker also had a ridiculous 77% catch rate, and that can't be attributed to anyone besides him and his QB. Welker and Moss made each other's jobs easier as is the case on most NFL teams with receiving cores. That's generally why I like to grade out the receivers as a group as opposed to individual.

The idea, of course, would be to hit on the draft pick, or to spend it at a different position. If we spend it on either line, or at the CB position, it's hard for me to see a situation that wouldn't help our team more than CJ in the long run. You always have the total bust factor, but huge busts can generally be identified. You have the Gallery-type slip through the cracks every few years, but when a team makes a bad pick--usually everyone scratches their head right off the bat.

ESPN - Lewis says it again: Chad Johnson isn't going anywhere - NFL

Marvin Lewis is saving Snyder from himself. Chad Johnson is staying in Cincinnati.

All this stuff is a bunch of rumors being started. Chad J. probably isn't going anywhere. He's going to want a lot of $ and the Bengals are going to want a lot of compensation. Who is going to give up both? I doubt even Snyder would give up the draft picks.

Until someone inside the Bengals organization contact the Redskins about a trade for CJ, any further discussion relevant to a trade for him is a moot point.

Vinny Cerrato said last night he was suprised when the story about a trade for CJ surfaced in the Wash Post last week. On Redskins Radio just last night, Larry Michael asked Vinny about the rumor related to CJ, he said that until the Redskins are contacted by the Bengals, any contact talk concerning CJ is considered tampering under league rules.

I have made mention of this point in at least two different posts' in this thread. See permalink #352

[Giantone]

The Skins still have a very(very) young QB learning a new system,the Bengals have Carson Palmer(5th best QB) in a system he knows and perfoms in well.............why come here?

The Bengals have stated they are not trading. I believe this is a moot point now. If the team kept pushing the issue wouldn't it fall under tampering? I'm suprised it hasn't yet. I know Chad has been the orchistrator but I would think we are walking a fine line. I wanted Chad but the Bengals are refusing to move him so lets look elsewhere and leave the Bengals to deal with an unhappy player who if they thought he was a cancer during the season then imagine him this year when he's unhappy and does not want to be there.

I would also stress that players need to honor their contracts. I liked that fact that GW put players on the bench. Maybe when a team has a player who is causing problems more coach's should be putting those players on the bench. The team won't get into trouble cause the player is in uniforme and is listed as active. The player will get bored sitting on the bench and will get the anger of the other players cause he is not being a team player to get on the field.

Either way it's the Bengals problem. Let them make their bed and lay in it. All we were trying to do is help them out. We need a WR and they need someone who will play their locker room games.lol.
