Chad Johnson

Both the Cardinals and Bengals have declined offers for Anquan Boldin and Chad Johnson, respectively. Both receivers are distancing themselves from their organizations as of late because of contract disputes and unsatisfactory working conditions. Boldin made no secret about his resentment after Arizona re-signed Larry Fitzgerald to a four-year deal earlier in the offseason. Similarly, Johnson is incredibly disgruntled, threatening to sit out the season in order to force a trade. Cincinnati denied the ‘Skins offer of their 2008 first-rounder (21st overall) and a 2009 third-rounder for the receiver and has stated its intention of calling his bluff. By now the other Bengals must be turning on Ocho Cinco. Houshmandzadeh has already put in his two cents, saying there’ll definitely be a “problem” if Chad isn’t dealt. Could one of these guys land in the Windy City? My thoughts say unlikely, though Boldin seems to fit the Bears’ character more; Johnson is too outlandish for the conservative organization. Boldin would immediately shoot to the top of our receiver depth chart if brought in and would make an excellent possession receiver. He’s got powerful legs, great hands, and could be good for 90-100 receptions, 1,000+ yards, and 7-8 TDs in Turner’s system… Wait, Bears! Get on this!

Lately, I have been hearing talk shows and ESPN talk about Chad Johnson and his problems and emotions. Let's put this is prospective. Chad Johnson is a good Wide Reciever, noone can argue with that, but he will never be the best. Why you ask? I'll tell you why. He complains too much, he talks about himself in the third person, and he thinks he is better than every wide reciever out there. Let me tell you, back in the day, did you ever hear Steve Largent whine and complain? How about Jerry Rice? No you did not (and if you dissagree, you are not paying attention). These two recievers were the best in the game period! To this day, there has not been a reciever who has even come close to the talent that Steve Largent and Jerry Rice had.

over the league, especially in Miami; those complaints are coming from Bengal’s wide receiver Chad Johnson.   

Johnson has threatened to sit out the 2008 season if not dealt, but Head Coach Marvin Lewis has repeatedly denied any rumors of potentially shopping or dealing the fan favorite.  Apparently, in my opinion, they are simply driving the asking price up.
