Ahh. I didn't bother to read the link and relied on others' summaries of the trade offer. A 1st and a 3rd (or Betts) would certainly be more palatable.

He's a malcontent cause of the losing team he's on. I would be also. As far as the 2 first rounders that's incorrect. It's this yrs 1st and next yrs 3rd for all of you who are saying CJ is not worth it and would destroy the team. It only becomes a first if he meets certain incentives....which most of you should not have a problem with concidering most of you believe he is a malcontent and would not reach those goals.

Cincy will make us an offer before the draft imo. Its obvious we are interested now maybe they are fishing for a better offer. If they dont get anything better they come back to us.

I really dislike the possibility of Chad going to either the Iggles or the Cowgirls. Acquiring Chad just to keep them off those two squads let alone how much he would help our team makes sense to me.

The last time the Eagles had a star receiver, they went to the Superbowl, and Chad might be what the Cowboys need to get over the post season hurdle. Romo would have no excuses then. If Chad's going to be in the NFC East, it better be with us or the division will be insanely difficult to come out of.

I admit that I misread it at first. If he were to reach the goals and we had to give up two first rounders I would be torn on the decision. I am all for a 1st and a 3rd rounder though. So if we can get him and have him produce slightly under what is required for a 1st rounder. That would make my day.

The last time the Eagles had that star receiver, they had a stud defense, McNabb could make through an entire season...I think...and they were a lot younger on both sides of the ball. Different team.

In my opinion, they are more than just one player away right now.

If Cincy doesn't want to make a fair trade, screw them, let's move on. Let's a get a younger, more motivated with less baggage player in the draft. Ocho Cinco can continue to be the circus act in Cincy.

people around here make me laugh. i would do a first rounder, and Betts, in a new york second. anyone remember what happened the last time we drafted a receiver in the first round? how did that work out. no, that's right, no receiver that gets drafted this year will have the impact that Chad Johnson will have this season. i say make the move

He has Carson Palmer for a QB, HoushmanXXXX for his wingman, Rudy Johnson, etc. I watched him play last year in many games and to be honest he's looked better in previous years. He dropped a lot of balls or couldn't get open or shake the defender. I think he best seasons are past him even if he's 30. Carson Palmer and CJ had some heated exchanges during some of those games cause CJ was too busy being funny and promoting himself like Deion Sanders and dropping lots of balls and running the wrong route. We don't need that kind of distraction

Well he did still manage to catch 93 balls for 1440 yards and 8 scores.

You can't argue with that kind of production.

I am so glad the Bengals said no. This is way too much to give up for Chad Johnson

Ive got one, Mike Westbrook...he just didnt have the love for it anymore after 30!

By the way the Patriots only gave up a 4th round pick for Randy Moss.

That was the greatest merged thread title I have ever read LOL

like i said..theres no way their gooing to pay first round money plus an eight million dollar hit to part ways with chad..Now if t was more like baseball where you can offer picks and a little cash then for them it'll be a no brainer..So lets end the dream of chad dancing in our endzone.
