If Chad Johnson can't deal with Carson Palmer, is he going to keep his mouth shut if Campbell isn't getting him the ball? Chad Johnson is obviously very talented, but I don't think he's worth the risk (or the draft picks).

I don't know that Chad Johnson can't deal with Palmer. I mean, his stats certainly show that he dealt with Palmer. Yeah, they had that one argument on the sidelines and they had a little spat last week. But really I don't think CJ at any point has said he can't play with Carson Palmer.

I think that Campbell can really benefit from having a top WR like Chad Johnson. Maybe it's just me, but I think (from what I've seen) CJ-unlike say Randy Moss-doesn't let up on the field because he's upset off the field. He may not be as good an option as say Boldin or Williams but I don't see him holding Campbell's progress back.
