Is Cincinnati Dumb Enough NOT To Trade Chad Johnson?
Published 4/22/2008 by Dave at The ADD Show - Aaron and Dave Discuss
... t the Bengals have no intention of parting ways with Johnson, but is that really smart? At what point is an offer good enough to say goodbye to the team’s best wide receiver? ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports the Washington Redskins offered well, perhaps too much, and still had their offer rejected. Daniel Snyder and the ‘Skins offered not only their first rounder in this weekend’s draft (#21 overall) but a conditional pick in 2009 that could be as high as another first rounder based on Johnson’s performance. Could Cincinnati be dumb enough to let maybe the league’s best wide ...

Published 4/22/2008 by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com
The Cincinnati Bengals have consistently made it known, publicly and privately, that they will not trade receiver Chad Johnson. But, nevertheless, an effort has been made to trade for him.
