I just hope that Snyder and crew realize that they hold the bargaining chips with Chad Johnson. PLEASE, Danny, keep playing the role of "we don't need your FAs or disgruntled players," and ONLY think about it if we get a steal. Call me crazy, but somehow I see this ending in us losing our remaining cap space and more than two draft picks.
I don't know how Snyder made his first set of millions, because when it comes to negotiations in the NFL he's gotten hosed just about every time.

Again, Johnson's contract is structured in such a way that the Bengals would have to take a massive cap hit if they trade him, this one comes complete with a flashing sign that says "Very Expensive." Snyder may prove me wrong but I believe that he'll see this for what it is: a bad idea*

Rotoworld sees Cowboys as a major player for him. I don't wanna see Crayton, TO, Johnson, and Witten on the field at the same time.... |

True. I'm the guy that will buy a newspaper, pull out the sports section, and throw the rest of it away.
I'm quite sure many journalists occasionally misrepresent the facts, whether it's deliberate irresponsibility or unintentional. I was always of the understanding that journalists make every effort to be accurate, but knowing sometimes reports from outside sources may be incorrect, take all necessary avenues to substantiate or verify the facts. If JLC's inaccuracies are unintentional and the result unsubstantiated reports, then he is irresponsible and has extremely poor sources. I understand reports can be way off-base sometimes, but when reporters don't try to set the story straight or offer some explanation as to why they were so wrong, I find that to be reckless and poor journalism. Again, I'm not familiar with the industry and don't have much knowledge with regard to the ethics related to the field. Perhaps it's more prevalent than I recognize.
By the way, does anyone know what the cap hit would be for Cincy if Johnson was deemed a post June 1st cut? I would just hate to see them trade high picks or break the bank for a disgruntled prima donna, especially at his age. |

I heard the post June 1st cap hit for Chad Johnson was somewhere in the neighborhood of $4.5 Million, as opposed to the nearly $9 Million it is now.
I'm having a little trouble finding a source for this. You would think that with all of the Chad Johnson articles someone might bother to add this tidbit. |

Definitely not but, again, I don't see how the Bengals can possibly make this work for them. |

Reporters miss state facts routinely. Our local paper is 95% fact free. |

I understand that can happen. But do they correct it when they discover they were wrong, or do journalists just take a care free attitude and continue to print unverified and nonfactual reports with no ramifications or responsibility? Maybe they do, I don't know. |

| Errors in fact are typically corrected, I think what the Post would say is, yes, we host the blog but it's JLC's blog, it isn't the Post reporting that content as fact. And JLC (like many sports writers) lacks the cojones to admit when he was mistaken. To be fair, it would take a lot of his time for him to correct all of his inaccurate speculation. But the guy doesn't even have enough pride to fix his spelling and grammatical errors so he'll certainly not trouble himself with errors in fact. |

Big risk, big reward I guess. It worked out so for for the Pukes. I think if Danny thinks we can win now he will pull the trigger, but if he feels like we are still a few years away we will draft and develop a receiver.  |

Simple...
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
Mr Cinco's current and recent past behavior is rife with petulance and tantrums.
Mr Cinco's more distant behavior is rife is show-boating and infantile oppositional defiance.
I just can't imagine what the future holds...
Please take him, Philly. |
