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

ESPN - Sources: Skins offer '08 first-rounder, '09 pick for Johnson; Cincy says no - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3358557)

This is the best thing that has happened to us in a while. I personally love Chad, but I love the Skins more and we need to keep our picks

wow...two first and no dice huh...

Id be ok with giving up a first and next years third for him though.

I absolutely love CJ -- but two firsts is just too high for him. I want him in DC, but not even for that price. That said, the Bengals are idiots to have turned this down if the report is accurate.

OK if they rejected that then they will reject everything

I want Chad in the worst way, but I concur that 2 first rounders is too much.

If I was the Bengals I would have turned it down. You are trading a dominant player at his position, for the hopes of drafting a replacement. The vikings did this with Randy Moss for the 7th pick in the draft and even then they couldnt find a replacement. Its a gamble.

Of course Chad doesnt watn to be there, but I think they are better off trying to prove to him they want to win and getting him to change his attitude.

Is there any receiver at 21 in this years draft that could have a more immediate impact than CJ? Time will tell...but probably not in the near term

If they're rejecting that offer good luck finding something better.

I still think something could get worked out after June 1.

Maybe the Bengals are willing to wait till draft day to see whats available at suitors' picks -- but I think this is crystal clear they're going to keep him. Interesting to see if he'll play this year.

Not to discredit a colleague, but I don't know that's entirely accurate. I'm pretty sure it was the 1st and a player (Betts?) for CJ or the 1st, conditional '09 for CJ and a pick

Totally, agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep the pics. The Redskins are not a team one player away from a championship. A good draft does give us the best chance to ultimately reach our goals. Is Vinny afraid he can't make the right choices? If he is, then he is correct to go after proven stars even if they are locker room nightmares. Sorry, but I am no fan of Cerrato.
