Ocho Cinco In B&G

From what I hear Larry Fitzgerald might also be available.

CJ's would clearly be the best player available... though R moss would be very close (i'm pretty sure he's a patriot for life though, and his attitude goes to crap pretty quick). fitz is good, but a big step below those two (though he'd easily be the #1 here, due to his consistency).

CJ + briggs + kenny phillips (or a DE) is like pulling 3 pro bowlers out of thin air. if it can happen, it should happen. just don't blow our #1 on a 30 year old WR.

I don't care what anyone says, I would love to see him playing for us. He may have a mouth on him, but the guy plays good football. I really think the best coach for him, would have been gibbs though.

Do it...Ocho Cinco...trade him for Brandon Lloyd.

Ya know....if the price is right, we need a prototype #1 receiver.
That would have a beautiful trickle down affect.
Moss would be a #2
Randel El would be a #3

That is probably where they would excel long term....not to mention the heat it would take off of Cooley.

In either case, we are either going to go for a protype possesion receiver who is big OR we get another pass catching TE....we will need 2 in the west coast offense.

The advantage of a true #1 receiver is that it puts our other 2 in their correct roles for long term success.

It sounds like there's more to CJ's behavior than just a passion for winning & celebrating. He's been gradually acting more selfish. The first publicity I remember of it was when the host bengals lost to the evenutal SB champ steelers in 05-06. At halftime of that game it was reported that he threw a tantrum & had to be restrained.

Since then it seems the sideline arguments & overall complaining have increased. He's nowhere near the problem child TO is, but his behavior, as noted by JLC, has alienated teamates. It's too easy to say all the bengals are to blame. Sure, they've had a lot of problem players as far as off field stuff goes, but none of them appears as selfish on the field.

I'm not a fan of ego centric WR, either....i am a Monk type guy...anyways...it could be that he is embarrased and "type cast" in the locker room and wants a fresh start....I think this guy is young. Egocentric guys get in a lot of trouble when they are young and make mistakes....it is possible that he may shut his mouth and do his job if he changes teams.

just because there is a TO that is full of crap, doesn't mean guys like Moss and CJ can't learn from their mistakes. I really think he needs a fresh start with a new team...I just hope it aint in the NFC east....who needs him most over here?.....you got it.....Philly.

We need help on our lines before we need yet another high paid WR.
This is why Snder and Cerrato are not very good at building a solid team. We need to start with our lines. But Snyderato are all about getting skill players.

Excellent Points....exactly why we are speculating about the skins going after a "splashy" WR already under contract.

Are you serious?
I LOVE that guy!

L.F. also has a crazy cap figure, so trading for the guy would eat up tons of cap space and a high draft pick. If we were to trade for him and sign him to a new contract, he'd certainly want a massive deal. If you're earning more than $10M per year (yes I said $10M), why would you take anything less than a blockbuster deal? If we are intent on using free agency or trades to get a star wideout, I would vote for trading for Roy Williams, who is reportedly on the block.

Speaking of Williams, did he and Mooch have any problems while in Detroit or were they pretty cool ? I ask this because if they ahd a good relationship then he could be a possibility with CJ being the smokescreen. I would prefer Johnson though, he'd make the games pretty fun besides the possible upside to havinh him line up alongside Moss.
