Skins offer '08 first-rounder, '09 pick for Johnson

[Gunzlingr]

How serious are the Cincinnati Bengals about not giving in to Chad Johnson's trade demands?


Johnson



Serious enough to swat away an offer from the Washington Redskins that could have netted the Bengals two first-round draft picks, team and league sources said.
The Redskins offered its first-round pick, No. 21 overall, and a conditional third-rounder in 2009 that could escalate to a first rounder if Johnson and the Redskins hit certain performance levels, the sources said.
It was not the first time the Redskins approached the Bengals about a deal, but it was the first significant proposal.
The Bengals have not only rejected the Redskins, but two other NFC East suitors -- the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles -- have been informed that there has been no change in the team's position that Johnson will not be traded.

And that's why they will remain the Bungles. If he isn't gone by this weekend, I will be shocked.

Of course they do. Chad Johnson, Santana Moss, Randall El

The team will have like 30mill tied up at WR

But why are they so adamant on keeping him when the jerk is so adamant on not playing? To teach him a lesson? Someone should. He once provided this sound logic, "If a team cuts a player from his contract, why can't a player cut himself from a contract and play somewhere else?" That just me steamed.

I don't understand this. Why will you be shocked when he isn't traded? Why do these threads keep popping up?

Mike Brown will not take an $8 million cap hit to trade Chad Johnson. He won't do it, plain and simple. He didn't give in to Carl Pickens, he didn't give in to Corey Dillon, and he won't give in to Chad Johnson.

If - and that's a big IF - Johnson is traded, it won't be until after June 1. Even then, I sincerely doubt it will happen.

I think a 2 1st rd pick possibility is more important to the bengals and the future of that team then an 8 mil cap hit this year.

IMO The bengals are letting their emotions make decisions now. if a player on my team took a swipe at anyone on that team player or coaches I would trade that SOB especially for what's on the table.

You don't know Mike Brown then.

He ain't going anywhere.

Good point. Brown would be a fool not to take two 1st rounders for a WR that causes problems, is a locker room cancer now (many of his teammates can't stand him) and wants out big time!

Looks like skoobs is no where to be found Eh?

Maybe we can fool the bengals into trading Chad to us for a 2nd.

Thats why the Bengals suck, they reject a great offer from an Owner who is missing a large number of braincells.

2 first round picks for an overrated, selfish, aging, cancerous WR?

Sorry but I would have taken that offer in a heartbeat. Also shows the stupidy of Daniel Snyder and the Redskins organization. Too bad we can't trade Loserman for Santana Moss.
