Chad Johnson's recess antics continue and Carson Palmer isn't buying any of it. The Bengals QB told reporters this morning that, "(Johnson) will be there when he has to."
Disappointed with the lack of personal attention this week (I would suspect), Ocho Cinco decided to call up ESPN's John Clayton and confirm his wishes.
"I want to make this very clear,'' Johnson said Wednesday. "I don't know where he got that. I made no assertion to Carson that I would do that. Nothing has changed from what I've been saying for three months that I don't want to play for the Bengals.''I think we can safely assume Johnson won't be traded before draft, nor anytime shortly thereafter.
"I want to be traded before the draft, and if that doesn't happen, I want to be traded as soon as possible,'' Johnson said. "I don't intend on reporting to anything.''
Receivers of his talent are hard to come by, but don't you do whatever you gain to get this mess/embarrassment/child off your hands? You're not going to win the AFC North anyway unless you improve your defense, so see if you can't get a couple high draft picks and move forward even if it the value doesn't match up on paper.
