Re: Ocho Cinco In B&G
 

[quote=SBXVII;423261][B]The Bengals have stated they are not trading. I believe this is a moot point now[/B]. If the team kept pushing the issue wouldn't it fall under tampering? I'm suprised it hasn't yet. I know Chad has been the orchistrator but I would think we are walking a fine line. I wanted Chad but the Bengals are refusing to move him so lets look elsewhere and leave the Bengals to deal with an unhappy player who if they thought he was a cancer during the season then imagine him this year when he's unhappy and does not want to be there.

I would also stress that players need to honor their contracts. I liked that fact that GW put players on the bench. Maybe when a team has a player who is causing problems more coach's should be putting those players on the bench. The team won't get into trouble cause the player is in uniforme and is listed as active. The player will get bored sitting on the bench and will get the anger of the other players cause he is not being a team player to get on the field.

Either way it's the Bengals problem. Let them make their bed and lay in it. All we were trying to do is help them out. We need a WR and they need someone who will play their locker room games.lol.[/quote]


The Mavericks also said "we are not going to trade for Jason Kidd"

Re: Ocho Cinco In B&G
 

Ok, you got me. I'm lost. I'm assuming you are refering to basketball's Jason Kidd? Since I have been to busy to watch the Wiz...did they pick him up? or am I totally missing something. I know I'm a little slow this morning. lol.

Re: Ocho Cinco In B&G
 

I must be really slow today. lol. sorry. I missed your Mavericks part of your statement. man. maybe I need to go back to bed. lol.

Give it up. He is too costly for us and why in the world would the Bengals let him go and take an $8 million hit? We are not playing Madden here. Its simply way too far fetched to happen, and even if it did all it would do is prolong our DB woes and make us have to wait yet again for another season with a 1st round draft pick being used for someone we need. I am convinced that all you CJ in D.C. supporters must see something in the 2009 draft class...

we need him for west coast of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could Bryant Johnson be a better fit? Cost less and younger with out giving up a number one pick in the draft! The go after Odom or Kelly then ues our # 1 pick on a DL and the 2nd on a CB!

Re: Ocho Cinco In B&G
 

i wouldn't mind having #85 if he can keep his mouth shut. imagine it... T.O. vs. Ocho Cinco

He is staying. It was announced 3 weeks ago that the Cowboys are picking up the option on Owens contract.

Re: Ocho Cinco In B&G
 

"Chad Johnson is due a $250,000 workout bonus on March 24.
If Chad's not in Cincinnati then, we'll know he's serious about holding out.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus has said Johnson won't skip important offseason work, but forfeiting $250,000 would make an early statement."

They wouldn't! I said this about 20 pages ago...they would accelerate his bonus and they would save his cap number from this season, therefore, they would only take about a [B]$3.2 million cap hit according to Sirius NFL Radio[/B]

He is under contract with Cincinatti until 2011. They may be able to save the cap hit from this season, but what is the hit they would incur next season? Or the following season?
