I see he is a no show in workouts and asking for a trade.
Would a 2nd be woth it?
thanks

We've been kickin' this one around in the draft forum.
I'd investigate, pending a willingness to re-structure.

Could we unload one of those #2's for Chad Johnson?

No way. He makes too much for starters and second, he's a cancer. Like Owens and Cutler. I don't think BB would want him even if we could afford him. good question tho, I mean his talent would be great accross from moss.... but with our picks, I think we can get a sleeper for cheap.

OK, no. Cutler is a douchebag, but not a cancer. Owens, I would agree with.

Johnson is a performer in a questionable organization. This kind of labelling won't fly wrt Chad, imo.

Overpriced, maybe, but the rest of it doesn't cause me a concern. He would likely beat out JG for the job and be a longer term solution.

Ok, I agree with everything you said, he can make a big impact on our team. but do you know how much he's due to make? Miguel only shows 3.75M left and we still need LB's. I just don't know if he is an option without someone being let go..

IF we can get johnson for a one strike your out Randy deal, Then I think its worth a second rounder.

That's what I was thinking. Don't know if BB has any interest.
thanks

Bengal Salaries 08rev for web.xls

I just looked it up. He is due to make 6.3M with $3M base salary. We would have to reework a couple of deals or let someone go. So it would be 2 picks AND whoever we let go to make it work, if that happens. So is that worth it?

Plus, do we tie up too much money to get a guy like Taylor or Peppers by aquiring 85??
