Offer made on Chad (1st rd '08, conditional 3rd rd '09)

I have mixed feelings about getting Chad Johnson. I'm wary about once again jettisoning draft picks, but he's a far cry from Brandon Lloyd and TJ Duckett. He's hasn't missed a start in years, he works hard, he's a first down machine, and is good for 1300-1400 yards and 9-10 TDs a year. But I worry about bringing a mouth like him into a football team that has a rookie head coach and a very cohesive locker room as it is. He could mess with chemistry, and I wonder how equipped Jim Zorn is to handle that. Shipping away high draft picks make me cringe, but you can't argue against CJ's production on the field. I'm on the fence, but I don't think it matters b/c he ain't leaving Cincy.
