Can Chad Johnson help us get that Ring?!?!?! He thinks so!!!

[sonnyboy]

The $8 mil cap hit does not make trading CJ impossible. But it is additional lost value from Cin's prespective that they'll want to be compensated for.

CJ probably has a scheduled cap hit of around 5 mil for 2008.
So trading him might only increase the cap burden by 3 mil.

Thought I read somewhere that CJ was under contract 3 more years.
The 8 mil cap hit is the remaining pro rata SB.

Now from Cin's prespective, they're losing a Probowl WR and 8 mil in cap space.
Who ever trades for him is not only getting a Probowl WR but a real bargin from a cap dollar prespective. I would guess the salary and corresponding annual cap # might be an average of 3 mil for 2008, 09 and 10.

I give up both our 1st rd picks for that.

 

[zrinkill]

does Johnson play cb?

CB did not cost us the Giants game ..... Our offense with a gimpy T.O. did.

And the CB who was responsible for most of the flubs is a "Texan" now.

Chad Johnson is a great WR, he might just need a change of scenary though.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Chad has 49 TDs in 7 seasons, how in the heck do u expect Chad to get 79 TDs in 5 more seasons....:laugh2:

Very simple. You take the TD's he scored in the last 5 years (43 of them) and I divided by 5 to get his TD per year average. It was something a little over 8. So you take that 8 and multiply it by 5 that gave me a number...i might have miss added on that one though. LoL. Thanks.


The actual number should be 92 TDs. My bad. I must have doubled something on this calculator while going through the process.

Anyway he averages 8.6 per year, for the last 5 years, so I took that and multiplied it by 5 and that number is what I used to add to what he's got. I must have hit it twice though.

92 is his total. I would edit taht in my original post but I no longer have the option to edit that one.

 

[Mr.davon24]

Chad to me is like another Barry Sanders. Only difference is the obvious td celebrations and how out spoken he is. He has put in work at Cincy and what does he get in return???? I'll Wait. The trade the man

Chad Johnson wants to be a Cowboy





Chad Johnson could've climbed on the coffee table on the middle of the Best Damn Sports Show Period set Wednesday and yelled at the top of his lungs "Trade me to to Dallas!!!" And he really wouldn't have been much more clear than he was in batting his eyes in the direction of Valley Ranch according to the Dallas Morning News. "If I end up in Dallas, I would just look at which finger I'm gonna put it on," Johnson declared. "That's it. Ain't no ifs, ands or buts about it."
Johnson said he and Terrell Owens would co-exist on the same team: "It's gonna work," Johnson said. "T.J. (Houshmandzadeh) and Chad Johnson are no different than '81' and '85' because T.J. is a No. 1 receiver. We just happen to be two No. 1 receivers on the same team at the same time. It's no different."

i don't want chad johnson. it's not that he wants to be a cowboy but he wants to be anything but a bengal. he also dropped way to many easyly catchable passes last year. plus he is more of a clown than owens used to be.

:laugh2: yeah i would hate chad for that.

 

[EPL0c0]

If the egos can stay in check, a WR of his caliber could make the offense unstoppable

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I know this is backwards, but it applies here

dont' hate the game, hate the player

Chad is still a great receiver, he had a career year last year, and he's led the AFC in receiving a couple of times

'ocho cinco' + 'ocho uno' = seis superbowls.

Ocho Cinco professes love for Vaqueros

March 20, 2008 2:23 PM


Bengals receiver Chad Johnson has hit the national TV circuit to promote an obscure Web film and express his desire to play for another team. The Bengals have continued to say that Ocho Cinco will return next season, but that hasn't stopped him from lobbying for a trade.

Last night, "Agent Ocho" (his name in a Web short called "The Rookie") stopped by Fox's "Best Damn Sports Show Period," which is hosted by several former athletes who may look vaguely familiar to some of you.

As Al Breer points out on my old blog, Johnson didn't think he'd have any trouble co-existing with Ocho Uno. In fact, he thinks his arrival in Dallas would pretty much guarantee a Super Bowl title.

"If I end up in Dallas, I would just look at which finger I'm gonna put it on," Johnson said. "That's it. Ain't no ifs, ands or buts about it."

So how do you think these two selfless men would get along together in the same locker room? Well, Johnson doesn't think it will be any different than Cincinnati, which is comforting when you consider how well things seem to be going there.

"It's gonna work," Johnson said. "T.J. [Houshmandzadeh] and Chad Johnson are no different than '81' and '85' because T.J. is a No. 1 receiver. We just happen to be two No. 1 receivers on the same team at the same time. It's no different."

I was so intrigued by this idea that I placed a call to the Valley Ranch information desk and asked whether something like this could happen. Judging by the laughter on the other end, I'm thinking it's a long shot.

"We're always willing to listen," said a VR source. "But it's hard to imagine something like this actually happening. Do you know where I can see the video?"
The fellas from BDSSP also asked Johnson about the punch he allegedly threw at head coach Marvin Lewis at halftime of a 2005 playoff game.

"That's not what happened," he insisted. "There was an incident. Man, I was pissed off. I was mad. I'm in the biggest game of my career, I got one catch, y'all are not using me. I'm pissed off. I'm emotional. You know how I am about the game.

"So I'm in there going off. And I have an IV in my arm, and I get up screaming, I'm mad. Carson's hurt, he's on the table, knee's gone. I'm not getting ball, and I'm going off, I'm screaming. And [receivers coach] Hugh Jackson restrains me. He put me in a headlock. So I couldn't move. Coach [Marvin] Lewis comes over, talks to me, restrains me also. That's where it ended.

"Yeah, something happened, I'm not going to sit here and lie. But that was it. Now, [former Bengal] Shaun [Smith] comes back with me throwing the punch. Man, if I threw the punch, I wouldn't have no problem if I wanted to get out of Cincinnati, because I wouldn't be there right now. In truth, no one's bigger than no organization. Not even Chad Johnson, trust me."

Chad, Matt Mosley thinks you've made some excellent points.

Memo to Cowboys: Please make this happen. The T.O.-Patrick Crayton combo isn't working for me.


Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson, Marvin Lewis

Oh yeah... This is exactly what we need...

Exactly. I cannot comprehend why this guy is perceived as a pariah. I've never heard anything negative about him as far as relationships w/ his teammates go...and he's still a baller!
Hell with it JJ, get PacMan and OchoCinco and let's get #6!!!

Hey Ocho

You no comprende man....

 

[Cowboys2008]

This guy is a big play machine. Opposite of TO we'd get a Ring.

I wasn't for it in the beginning, but I'm quickly warming up to the idea.

Though of course, I still want Boldin first; and even though Roy Williams is a slight drop off in talent, I'd want him before Johnson too, just because.

The speculation of the spectacle a TO/Cinco combination would bring to Dallas though, would be spectacular, I must say.

I sure wouldn't mind Ocho being a Cowboy, the same as I felt about Owens. He would be a terrific addition. He would also add talented youth to our WR core.

But I don't think it will happen. The Bengals have no interest in getting rid of him. He may threaten to sit out like Briggs did, but in the end, he will be playing for the Bengals this year.

But I won't kill the dream. If we were to trade for Ocho, I believe that it would have to be a packaged deal. I can envision a deal that would send Crayton, Ayodele, and possibly a 4th or 5th to the Bengals for Johnson. I'm not into all the cap figures, so someone else will need to figure out if that would work or not. But it would be a good deal for both teams. The Bengals would get a dependable (for the most part) WR and depth at LB position (they have none right now), plus an additional draft pick. Cowboys would get the best WR duo in the league. But if Ocho is to come to Dallas, he needs to get rid of that awful Mowhawk thats for sure.
