PrintBengals Apparently Delirious
This entry was posted on Apr 09 2009Per John Clayton, the Bengals are asking for a first and a third round pick for Chad Johnson. If it is true that Johnson is on the trading block and it’s also true that this is the Bengals’ asking price then expect to see him back in Cincinnati.
We’re not even sure you could talk Dan Snyder into something that dumb. Not only would the new team be giving up two valuable picks, they would also be signing the 31 year-old to a new contract. And keep in mind there are question marks about his future effectiveness after a terrible ‘08.
It remains to be seen whether this is just posturing by the Bengals in negotiations. But if it isn’t, Johnson will be spending another season on a losing team in Cincinnati.
If this is true then F that! They've gotta be CRAZY asking a 1st and ANYTHING to take their garbage out. I mean, I would like to see what he can do here as much as the next guy, but shit. This is an aging player with declining stats. A fresh start in a new system might breathe some new life into him, then again it might not. 1st and 3rd...WOW!

Agreed 100%
2008 – 53 catches, 540 yards, 4 TD’s.
Granted, he had a string of like 7-8 years prior to last year in which he had well over 1,000 yards every year, but the numbers above are a HUGE red flag. A 1 and a 3 is ludicrous.
You know who’s to blame for that asking price by the way? The Cowboys. By making that incredibly stupid deal last year (a 1, a 3, and a 6 for Roy Williams), they set the market way too high and teams like the Bengals, Cardinals, and Browns are going to point to that trade in any negotiation.
If they're saying 1st and 5th for Braylon...
Why would anyone give up 1st and 3rd for Johnson…Braylon is younger and arguably just as good or better than Johnson…
If you read the article it is all speculation. I think more and more the media is making up trades and interests about teams to fuel the blogging world. If the Eagles have any interest in any WR, it is for a 3rd round pick or lower.
I would love to take Chad….for a 4th rounder. The guy is 31 and wants a new contract. Honestly, the Bengals were idiots if they got offered 2 firsts by the Skins and didn’t jump on them.

Prolly could have just stopped there bud

We traded a fifth round pick and Brandon Whiting (4th rounder) for Owens when he was 31. The Ravens were giving up a second rounder for him and I think we got a discount because Owens was going to win the grievance and the Niners would have received nothing. I could see a 3rd and 5th for Chad, I’d even give a second (only).
I also think Chads numbers last year had a lot to do with the QB, his torn labrum in his shoulder, his ankle surgery and the fact that the Bengals line gave up 50-something sacks. I really see no reason to believe he wouldn’t put up over 1000 yards and 8 TDs in this offense.
"I need to do a better job of putting players in the right position to perennially come up short of expectations"
agreed a second only is my highest bid, only if I get the players I like in the first.
If not, I hold on to that 2nd and tell Chad to piss off. They may be forced to cut him anyway. What did we get for TO. Nada, They are in that same boat.
There is a reason why some teams like Arizona and Cincy always lose. They constantly make bad choices.
Arizona should trade Boldin, but they wont. They were OK last year and got hot in the playoffs, but may not be back next year.
And Cincy was stupid for turning down a trade to Washington for 2 first rounders. Now they want to make up for it by asking for a first and a third. That is just stupid, They will get nothing, either cut him, or bring him back with all that drama and keep losing.
Bad teams make stupid choices.

Add sandy vajay-jay to that list and you’ve got a winner.

Whodie said it perfectly
All these people especially Bye,Dawk thinks Chad Johnson is done just be cause he had a whopping 1 bad year in his career where he was injured and had a pathetic O-line and QB. Did you guys forget Randy Moss had 3 straight sub par seasons and had a way worse character than 85. Thats why he went only for a 4th. Look what happened when he went on a winning team with a good QB.The only reason TJ got his catches because the other teams best corner and most attention is on Chad so TJ just got plenty of the short 9-10 yard catches. 3rd and 5th or 2nd rounder is just about right. Or to get creative. I would give them a 1st and third. For Chad and their 38th pick.

Ah, the "Randy Moss argument" rears its ugly head again...
Something happens once, it gets referenced until the end of time.
On the Atlantic City Expressway, you don’t see billboards of guys cashing in the lousy $2.50 chip they’re stuck with after losing $500, or a guy going to the ATM machine for the 4th time. You see the guy that’s won so much money, he needs an umbrella to protect him from the hailstorm of gold coins raining on him. But you know what? The $2.50 chip guy scenario happens WAY more.
Plus… Don’t put words in my mouth, Cuz.
- Did I not mention that he had like 7-8 seasons in which he put up well ove 1,000 yards?
- And where did I say he was “done?”
All I said was that the year he had last year (and yeah, I’ll note those #‘s again… 52 catches, 540 yards, 4 TD’s) is a HUGE red flag. If I’m a GM, I’m not trading a 1 and a 3 for a legitimate question mark.
The more I think about this
Or to get creative. I would give them a 1st and third. For Chad and their 38th pick.
The more I don’t mind it.
Not that it would ever go down, but the whole 28 for 38 part makes it much more palatable.

I think the Eagles like 2nd round picks more than firsts because there is less risk. The difference between a 28th picks potential and a 38th picks potential really isn’t alot, but the value on draft day is a third rounder.

Now watch Bye Dawk say...
exactly…“he didnt wanna play last year”

Hell To the NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That is a crazy asking price for a question mark player. We’ll never pull the trigger on something that STUPID. But then again Joe Banner is pretty stupid. LMAO.
A man is not defeated when he is beatin he is defeated when he quits.
