85
Rumors of 85 leaving Cinci have been swirling the entire NFL offseason. But now even Marvin Lewis is tired of defending a no-trade policy as the WR speaks out again. Could Ocho Cinco land in the Eagles nest after all?

  • Lito and some late round picks, would be too much to pass up on draft day.
  • more than late round picks, bengals would have to pay $8 million if they traded him
  • Only if he was traded before June 1st. After that they can do what they want with him and take no cap hit.
  • 8 mil that they would be paying him anyway over the next three seasons. including about 3 mil this year, so not that much.
  • 8 million they will be paying for no reason. Nothing will happen with chad til June 1st. If anything happens at all.
  • well they are paying it either way i'm saying.so it wouldn't be for no reason. plus they could even workout compensation for the 8 mil in the trade if they wanted to.

  • The cap hit only takes place if they trade him before June 1st.
  • It ain't happening...
  • Is this all you do posting your witty little comments when the subject really doesn't concern your Broncos at all except it could make the AFC conference easier without Chad Johnson in it. Oops I forgot then who would be there to burn Champ Bailey if Chad were gone.
  • i enjoy his witty little comments whether the broncos or not.............tc speak a the truf
  • 5forlife, the only guy that actually, truly can beat Champ one on one is T.O.

  • What about Moss?!?
  • And the NFL won't waive the cap hit. That would be an unfair advatange. These cap hits are there to keep teams from just trading anyone at anytime they want. Its part of the system that keeps an NFL team from buying a dynasty. No one wants a New York Yankees type of football team.
  • I do.....Called the Eagles.
  • This deal is more dead than hip-hop
  • I hope you mean hip hop and not rap; Talib, Lupe, Common, Mos, Cunning Linguist, and even Nas are still at it, you better take that back moron. You with a picture of weezy, weezy sucks get over it, Li'l Jon is more talented, a whole album of crunk; genius a whole album about drugs weed and sex; Original?

    BTW What happened to Quan?
  • i've had just about enough of the constant bickering about music on here. taste in music is, and always will be 100% SUBJECTIVE!! if you don't know what that means, hit up wikipedia.org.
  • Why does every thread on here always degenerate into an argument about horrible rap music?
  • coz thats how we do
  • your right, that is how we do
  • Prince, Lil Jon blows, Crunk sucks
  • speak tc speak ahhh!!!!!
  • yeah, i'm just trying to keep this site's cred up, ya digg? seriously, did he even say Lil Jon is good? That's sh!t, Lil Jon was never good, never will be, and crunk blows

    Prince, what guy doesn't like pu$$y, money, and weed? Any guy that don't like that trio is all homo
  • Quan is NOT leaving arizona. The cardinals want him and his too clasy of a guy to speak out and hold out. He is staying put.
  • I don't know with the comments he made on ESPN it sounds like he really wants out. Anything is possible and getting him would be awesome but who knows??
  • What i dont understand is that if Chad sits ou,t Cinci is still using up cap room on a reciever that isnt even playing. So why wouldnt they trade him? And if he did decide to play for Cinci then hes going to stir up the Bengles locker room.Remember when T.O. got traded to the Eagles how much trouble they went through to get him, I think we will do the same again. I believe he will be traded, not sure when but we will have to wait and see....
  • Due to what philly went through with T.O., I don't believe they will be interested in Chad whatsoever. Yes we went to the SB in 2004... but at what cost? TEAM players only, please.
  • Who cares???????????????????????????????????????

    I would take a diva WR in a heartbeat if not for just one superbowl.
  • philly4lyfe is right, i saw that ESPN interview and he sounded dead serious about getting out of Cincinatti.

    The Eagles have something the Bengals want. LITO. and the Bengals have something that the Eagles want. OCHO. I know OCHO will end up here.
  • yo that espn interview was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i tried video taping that so i couldve posted it on here, but my fuckin shit wasnt charged!!! i was DYING!!!!!!
  • the funny thing is when they ask him what he wants and if it includes a trade, he keeps saying "i already told you." like he actually said something.
  • After the recent Chris Henry news, it is IMPOSSIBLE to watch this transaction ever occur. The Bengals are not going to lose 8 million in their cap, and release two of their three WR's in your off-season. It would be practical to watch the loss of Chad if a deal was generated, however the loss of two starting WR's is a step in the wrong direction. I endorse whole heartedly being aggressive and aggravating a trade, however at this point I believe the Bengals are too crippled right now to watch a premier player like Johnson slip through their hands.
  • i dont know... the top 5 WR in this years draft are EXTREMELY talented... if they were to free up TJ or chads contract by trading one of them, then they can use that extra money next year to make which ever WR they kept happy. it doesnt sound so outrageous. the bengals cannot afford to keep both TJ and chad both happy, 1 is going somewheres, where, no one knows, we all HOPE, but no one knows...
  • a cap hit is the guarented money is the contract the signing bonus is guarented and the team has to pay it
  • Pumakicks, i agree with your opinions, but they may need draft picks and a cornerback now more than ever. With the draft picks they can get a wideout and other needs, and get their defense a playmaker like Lito.
  • I agree Eaglesfan20, They have two choices, to try and rebuild the team, or try and appear in control. Those draft boards will be mighty persuasive, but if Chad is really the "protagonist" in this situation, Marvin Lewis may be the egotistical visionary in this scenario, and he expressed no intentions to let Chad go. It is almost the muddiest situation for them. They can't afford to lose another WR, but if they keep Chad, chances are he won't play hard. Even if he plays hard, without Chris Henry their offense will not be as productive. And their defense is bent. The Bengals are down sh*ts creek...
  • please lord....my sorry team needs a good WR. We have total garbage. We have such big mouths and little WRs...... I know, we are ungrateful, drunk, thugs, with no super bowl in our whole NFL existence. We think if you could deliver us Chad, Larry, or anyone better than Freddie Mitchell, we will be good little losers. We won't beat up Santa Claus, boo respectable opponents, or even shoot each other. Please Lord help us out in our time of need. Need I remind you, WE HAVE NO SUPER BOWL AND OUR WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY IS SAID TO HAVE CLOSED. We need a WR bad, so if you will answer our prayers check us out on this little site and help us out, please. We have been begging ever since Free agency started. We have been praying and praying. You couldn't come to this site and not see us begging! We are desparate, we have to play the Cowboys, Giants, and Skins with Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown. Do you see how bad it is? Please help us, you can have a greasy philly cheese steak on us. Please Lord, the Eagles need you......
    Can I go to this site without seeing you bums' prayers EVERY DAY!?

Oh yes and in those three we are the only team to win back to back shut out Championships and we are the only team to beat Vince Lombardi's Packers in the playoffs. And ooo yea in all three of those championships we didn't have to cheat.
