Rosenhaus Pleads With Cincy To Trade Johnson

So what happens to a player's contract if he doesn't play at all? I know it still counts against the cap. Do they have to pay him anything? How much can they fine him?

No they don't have to pay him if he's not attending and I think the going rate is around $10,000. a day or more.

Hopefully, Ocho Cinco gets what he wants, but I think if the Skins would have picked him up, he would be a huge distraction. Just my opinion.

Now we don't have a need for Johnson. Let's move on.

If a player does not show up he does not get paid. In addition the team may fine him up to $14,000 per day he is "AWOL" according to the current CBA.

AND the team can go to arbitration to recover a pro-rata portion of his signing bonus/roster bonus too.

Of course Rosenhaus wants Cincy to trade Johnson. Rosenhaus gets paid on the basis of a percentage of the contract he negotiates for his clients. Think about it...

TO, Pacman, and CJ in the same locker room... can you imagine the atmosphere? CJ going to the Cowboys would be the best thing for us. They would implode!

It's only a matter of time before the implosion in Cincy....unless STINKO stays home, which that tight bastard isn't doing! I'm very pleased that clown didn't land in DC and that the Bengals held their position, play for us or sit at home....BROKE!

Didn't this clown do an interview with ESPN recently where he said he would play this year for Cincy if it came down to it? I thought I had heard something to that effect on Sirius.

In essence don't trust whatever CJ says, because it's evident he hasn't made up his mind on the matter. One day he said he's coming in, the next he said he will still hold out if he feels like it.
