Ocho Cinco to Redskins Deal Shot Down

I still wonder at what point did it all go wrong for Chad Johnson

It went wrong when he hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent.  Forget everyting you've heard about Chad wanting to go to a winner.  That is a lie and a smokescreen.  If he was really interested in winning, why would he put on a Ravens caps? Why would he beg Parcells to make a trade for him.  The Bengals may be a mess, but Miami is worse off in the short term and Baltimore doesn't have a QB.  So forget about the winning BS. 

Chad wants money.  He renogotiated his contract in 2006 which, like most contracts, is front loaded, with most of the money coming at the beginning of the contract.  Now that he's in the latter half of the contract, he wants more money.  This is a common Rosenhaus ploy.  So during the offseason Chad tells the Bengals he wants more money.  They calmly explain that they just redid his contract 2 years ago, they're not going to do it again, and by the way Chad, you're the 3rd highest paid WR in the league.  Chad and Drew realize the Bengals won't play their stupid "Pay me" game, so they raise the stakes and try to disguise his greed as a desire to win.  Do not allow yourselves to be sucked in by this ploy gentle readers.

John Czarnecki makes some very good points about Mike Brown in an article on Fox Sports.  http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/8061310/Ocho-Cinco-ju

Mike Brown is an old school negotiator who won't be bullied by these tactics or any players.  Chad is an idiot and needs to know his audience.  Brown and the Bengals are content to let him sit rather than give into his demands.  If this is cutting off your nose to spite your face, so be it.  As a Bengals fan, I'd like to see them get something for Chad, but as a football fan, I'm glad to see someone stand up to these tactics by Rosenhaus (who I happen to think is greed incarnate).

I said it before, and I'll say it again...F Chad, F his c*cksucker agent, F his hypocricy and crybaby mentality.  I hope the Bengals sack-up, don't trade him and ban him from all team activities and facilities for the year.  Let him rot at home for a year during the prime of his career and see how much love and money he gets from another team then. As a life long Bengals fan I'd be happy with a 4-12 season if I could see Chad Johnson sitting at home like an impotent douche-nozzle, crying his head off about wanting to be traded.

Chad Johnson Needs to just Shut up and play. I'm sure their are alot of other people who would like to get the chance to just play in the NFL. Let alone make the money he is..He's just a trouble maker and a person who needs to be in the public eye all the time. It' like HEY LOOK AT ME .I'M OVER HERE .Heneeds to just get a life and play the game

" GO Browns "

The Bengals are idiots 4 trying 2 be the bigger shark in the pool! If anyone thinks this is an ugly situation now wait a little bit longer! Deal him away now 4 that deal the Redskins offered! They will have 2 deal him eventually anyway, he has pissed off his teamates and the rest of the organization from what he has said! If they wait any longer they wont get as good as deal as they have been offered! Besides who do they think they have here Peyton Manning or something? The deal the Redskins offered is alot better than i thought they would get 4 him! Hell look what the Patriots gave 4 Moss, nearly noyhing! And Moss aint no spring chicken compared 2 Ocho No Show! Thats what i call him. Everytime he goes 2 play the Steelers he talks a gang of S**T and never backs it up!

This is starting to remind me of Barry Sanders and the Lions. Barry wanted to leave the Lions said no, so barry retired, talent wasted. Hate him or love him Ocho is one of the better WR out there. If he were to sit this season it would be a waste of talent. They are alrdy wasting his talent by not utilizing him so why not trade him. Get something good for him. Instead of paying him to sit on his azz.
