Chad Johnson Talk (Merged)

[Niner585]

Just wondering what you guys think about CJ, and what the team would be willing to give up to get him. I ask because the guy is litterally in tears talking about the Bengals right now on NFL Network.

[Iowa49erFan]

Whatever it takes!

[ninerlicious]

i'd rather know what it would take to get houshmandzedah.

[Mullester]

Way to much.

[bilwit]

An act of god. He is definitely, definitely, not a Nolan-guy.

Thats okay, will only be here another year.

We should be pursuing him! :coolgleamA: < Ocho Cinco

[Ninerz83]

A lot more than it'll take to get this thread moved

[papa burgundy]

whatever it takes make sure to get some prozac or zoloft or something with him.. christ almighty it's odd as hell seeing a pro athlete look as depressing as he does on total access right now.

[Optimus Prime]

i'd rather know what it would take to get houshmandzedah.

Same here. I don't think he's going anywhere though.

[bilwit]

Well they (press/media, coaches, team) basically told him to completely put his good characteristics on hold WHILE still pointing all the blame at him, even when he's been one of their main contributers in the past six or so years. He's been down (characteristically) all season long because of that..

[Iowa49erFan]

MIKE, IF YOURE READING THIS, SIGN THE SUM *****, TAMPER, STEAL, LIE, DO WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO!

I might like you then, only for a game or two though.

[49ersz]

I can't stand when people want to trade for CJ. Sure he is a great WR and all but he wold be like a cancer to our team. Chances are if we don't get a good QB he won't put up big numbers and he will complain and become a destraction. Kind of like TO. Also why would he come to a team that finished last in offense?

[Army49rFaithful]

I know people have talked about this already and I know that everyone is saying that 85 isnt going anywhere but this is the NFL and deals always happen. Can someone explain why having 85 will be a bad thing? If we give up a draft pick for him can that be any worse than drafting say Hill, Marshall, Williams, Woods or anyother of the WR picks since TO that havent amounted to much? I do believe in building with the draft but I think that some skill positions have more immedeate impact than you can get in the draft.

Name me 3 high round WR picks from the last 3 years that will be better than #85 over the next 3 years.

I say if the dissention continues between #85 and marvin Lewis we make a draft day trade for him.

P.S. He loves patrick willis which should make him happier about coming here.

[miket]

Way to much.

Who do you want to pay or who is worth the money if he is not:unsure:

Yay another CJ thread woot! :throw:

Its like attack of the Ocho Cinco threads in the redzone!!!

Everyone take cover!!!!!!!

Chad isnt even a cancer, hes just a character. He entertains and hes also a great football player.

Our team is not good enough to eliminate going for one of the BEst WRS in the league. Hell id take TO and AB back if it means we get a better team

He doesn't like loosing now and you want him here? It's like bringing Randy Moss they don't want to go to rebuilding teams at this stage in their careers.

[bilwit]

Hahaha.. just watched "best of chad johnson 2007" at nfl.com.. it's great how he has fun with the corners and safeties in a non-aggressive fashion, he just makes snide remarks like "i'm not the bad guy! i love you!", "hey man you didn't have to hit me like that, we're supposed to be a family" lol. And then he talked to Ray Lewis who got a big hit on him earlier in the season about it during the pro bowl. Good stuff. I don't believe that he's a "cancer" as many cinci fans or w/e would say he is, just that he's very showy and has great love for the game.

Diving into the Brown's stands after a touch down and getting a soda poured on him.. hilarious.

"If they stop me today, any coverage, 2 man, 55, cover 2, man to man, I will give you my game check."

I agree. I actually kinda like WRs with a little flash and flair. I think it shows how competitive they are and how badly the WR wants to win. These "flashy" WRs are willing to carry their team on their back. Like TO, Chad, and even Vernon said, "Just give me the ball". I hope we can do what Vernon asks this year. He can run his mouth all he wants as long as he's putting up numbers and helping us win. :hangloose:

[-BayAreaJunkie-]

Naa. Not this year. I would first like to see how our receivers mold into the Martz system. We already have two new receivers and 3 receivers capable of being productive in his system. Let's first see who can man up and who's not so manly. If next year comes along and we still are in dire need of a true #1 I'd definitely be down with making a trade for CJ.

[Niner585]

CJ said he will come play here if you delete your account and never post another thread about him again.

Why the hostility? I'm like every Niner fan on this board who wants the best for this team. Since when bringing in a proven talent a bad thing? Lets act like Adults people.

[9ER_UK]

Thats actualy an awesome watch! Funny guy man.

[Niner585]

There are at least 40 other threads about Chad Johnson you could have posted in.

Well hopefully you were more pleasant on the other 40! Go Niners.....

[Ness]

The targets we have on the roster now are enough to determine whether Alex Smith or anyone else will be a foundation at the quarterback position. In my opinion, wide receivers are arguably the least important position on offense when compared to quarterback, offense line, halfback, and tight end.

Before we invest in a receiver that will garner a decent amount of value and has had character issues, I believe the quarterback problem needs to be resolved first.

I like CJ. He's a real character that means no harm and he makes plays. But we're just not at the offensive level to be attractive to him. A shame.

[Mac9er]

What's the point of bringing in a Chad Johnson, when we don't have a QB worthy of being on the same field with him?

[Godlovesthe49er]

ah man here we go again...

[49ersCatch]

I'm a little dissapointed that anyone actaully answered his question. This has been talked about so much it makes me sick.

[Iowa49erFan]

I just watched the NFL video of him on there and the dude is extremely unhappy with his situation, he was almost in tears.

We need to make a push for him! If we have a proven talent at WR that may just help our QBs progress. I dont see why we wouldnt want to give the dude a shot.

DO IT MCNOLAN! DO IT!

"Chad wants whats best for Chad!"

[SingletaryforHC]

Well, if Singletary were promoted to HC and Chad came here, the next time he punched his coach he just might find himself on the floor. I really don't understand why every player tha has an issue with where he's at is seen by a few as a good fit with the niners. With so few veterans, what kind of locker room would this team have bringing in a Chad Johnson or a DeAngelo Hall? Getting tight in the pants over some other team's problem children just doesn't make sense. This team just does not have the guys to deal with these types of players in the locker room.

[jackacid]

Zero chance.

Well I dont think hes going to be with the Bengals this year, if he comes here or not, hes extremely unhappy.

That's fine and dandy and I don't dispute the possibility.

"Zero chance" was referring to SF. There is absolutely no way Nolan or McCloughan would go out and get the guy. The three reasons why:

1. He's not "Niner" material - a mantra they've been attaching to all of their FA moves.
2. He's not worth the cost to get him between picks and contract.
3. McNolanartz think we have enough guys to spread the ball around this year, even minus Darrell Jackson.

I'll go homeless in the Tenderloin for a week if I'm wrong. But I'm not.

I think McNolan would be too afraid for a personality like his and wouldnt know how to handle it. Im not so worried about Martz though. :pards:

[Iceburnztt]

After TO it's a niner standard not to have good wr's. Don't want to break that pattern. Next up QB's!

Seriously, he's not happy with Carson Palmer throwing him the ball, do you people actually think he'd be a happy, cheery guy with Alexis Smith as his QB?

[49erfanatic]

Seriously, he's not happy with Carson Palmer throwing him the ball, do you people actually think he'd be a happy, cheery guy with Alexis Smith as his QB?

Its not that hes not happy with Carson Palmer... Lets face it, a good WR makes an average QB look great. Why is it that so many are eager to say NO to him coming here. If, big If, he wanted to come here then the 49ers would be idiots to pass it up... no matter the cost. Our first and third would be no problem in my book. At those two positions in the draft you only dream to get a player of CJ's caliber, and one in a hundred make it to that point.

Now im not saying its a realistic set of events, but Im not ready to shoot the idea of the possibility down. :pards:

[49erfanatic]

I stopped reading there...

Good, Id rather you not read my post if you are going to be ignorant.

[Bdogg]

Him being the last guy on earth, deciding, he wants to be a niner. That is the ONLY chance we have. There is absoluely no reason for him to come to this team. He's OVER-RATED to boot.

I agree that there is little chance of him wanting to come to the niners, but he is hardly over-rated...

2007 -1,440 8
2006 -1,369 7
2005 -1,432 9
2004 -1,274 9
2003 -1,355 10
2002 -1,166 5

Now I'm not a CJ fanboy, but I cant stand all the people who act like they do not even want him here. Its just the usual case of people taking the better odds so they can appear to have wisdom above all others. Im not saying its likely he will come here, but if there were a chance id be all for it and im sure the nay-sayers would as well.

Crap knobs, beat me to it.

You mention his yards but what about td's? I have watched him closely and I really feel his stats are inflated. He will have a big 200+ yard game then 2 bad games then another 200+ game and so on. Keep in mind as well that he has a top notch QB and 2 other receiving threats on the field with him. Can the guy be great, sure wih the right weapons (which we do not have by the way). For the record, I never said he was a bad receiver. I just think there is way more hype due to the media circus he receives.

Amended to include TD's. 48 TD's in 6 seasons... you're right, hes a joke and is over-rated.

Im not saying hes the GOAT or even saying hes the best now. I think hes top 10 though. I just take issue with folks scoffing at the idea of pursuing him when your team specifically lack a #1 WR. CJ is the definition of #1 WR...

[JANiners]

An act of god. He is definitely, definitely, not a Nolan-guy.

So what your saying is that he is super talented and is a bonafide gamebreaker?

[49erfanatic]

:falldownlaugh: Why would Nolan want a guy like that on our team, he may attract more attention away from Nolan in his Reebok suit... :gathering:

[49erfanatic]

no, because Chad would be constantly pouting on the sideline and complaining to the media when he wasn't reaming out his QB and OC.

I cant argue that. Im not a fan of his antics:puppet: , but I also dont enjoy season after season of no Offense and little wins.

[MR. WEBBER]

A lot more than it'll take to get this thread moved

Nolan: "Chad, your pay attention to me and let me be the spectical around here or I'll do to you what I did to Alex and throw you under the bus in front of the entire team. You think Cincy was bad just try taking the spotlight from Heir Nolan!"

[psychoj1016]

chad johnson... with our deffense shaping up... bruce, b johnson,gore, martz how could you really go wrong... def a playoff team.... niners have always had awesome wr to get them to the playoffs, rice and TO, and now its time to add another.... would take a lot but would be awesome.... maybe mid season when cinci realizes hell sit out

[fabie]

Just wondering what you guys think about CJ, and what the team would be willing to give up to get him. I ask because the guy is litterally in tears talking about the Bengals right now on NFL Network.It takes a leg, an arm or any limbs, the family farm, our integrity and York's money.....and then some.:fishing:

[JASON]

He would take us to the Division crown!!!!!!!!!! PLAYOFFS. Ocho Cinco, Gore, and VD and Martz. Thats lethal.

LAST NIGHT CHAD JOHNSON WAS ON NFL NETWORK SAYING HE WANTS A TRADE. HE SAID HE WASN'T LOOKING FOR ALOT OF MONEY HE JUST WANTS TO WIN. MIKE MARTZ SYSTEM IS A RECEIVERS BEST FRIEND.

[Pound th' Rock]

Wow. I had no idea about this rumor. Thanks for posting it.

[Brianff49ers]

I really think he is done in Cinci! I just can't believe he would ever land with S.F. but I think everyone would agree it would be a HUGE pick-up for our team!!

[DeepCross]

Please lose the all-caps, it is annoying to read.

[Iowa49erFan]

Wow. I had no idea about this rumor. Thanks for posting it.

How is it a rumor when he said so himself??

[knightdreamer]

What would it take - To much

[verbicide]

An act of god. He is definitely, definitely, not a Nolan-guy.

But Antonio Bryant, Ashley Lelie, Rod Green, they all were.

and melvin the wifebeater oliver is?

or Thomas anger management Clayton?

or Tarel Its not mine its his Brown

[Tracker]

Prob 2 firsts at minimum and the huge contract Chad will demand. I am not saying he is not a major talent but there are Marvin Harrison, Jerry Rice, TO, and yes... Chad Johnson types just waiting to be drafted and break out for some NFL team in the years to come.

If he were the “one missing piece” to send us to the Superbowl I would say heck yeah… but he (by himself) is not. So the return on investment is not warranted IMO.

[SingletaryforHC]

I have watched a lot of bengals games over the last couple of years. Chad has taken some absolutely vicious hits in that time. People knocking him for his toughness have no clue what they are talking about. If it was just a matter of talent, I would to see him in a niner uniform. He is fun to watch and would definitely help as a threat that would help get a defender out of the box. My issue is just his attitude when things aren't going his way and the niners having a lack of leadership to deal with him.

[XJUN10RX]

So i'm bored and had nothing else to do.. well anyway, so i saw that chad johnson was selected 5th in the 2nd round by the bengals.. but i noticed 7 wide outs were selected that year before he was...

# selected..name..team selected by... school attended..

8 David Terrell Bears WR Michigan
9 Koren Robinson Seahawks WR North Carolina State
15 Rod Gardner Redskins WR Clemson
16 Santana Moss Jets WR Miami (FL)
25 Freddie Mitchell Eagles WR UCLA
30 Reggie Wayne Colts WR Miami (FL)
33 Quincy Morgan Browns WR Kansas State
36 Chad Johnson Bengals WR Oregon State


I just thought how deep this draft was with receivers (well how it was said to be) but in all you don't really know what your selecting until later. That's why the draft sometimes involves luck... I know some of these guys selected infront of him have been good but others haven't...

I hope we have lady luck on our side for this years draft :hoppy:

[XJUN10RX]

wow as i kept looking threw that years draft, i caught some other names.. dang straight diamonds in the ruff.. who said you there isn't any good talent in the 7th rounds..

# selected overall
74 Steve Smith Panthers WR Utah
204 T.J. Houshmandzadeh Bengals WR Oregon State

[Iceburnztt]

safe to say the bengals had a good year at that draft

[bilwit]

Housh fell low because CJ had all the spotlight in college -- interesting to see how the Bengals picked both of them and look how good that turned out for them :hangloose:

johnson had some great wr'ing teammates.2 lucky qb's back then

[beasley for pres]

"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 used to like Chad Johnson, but at this point I'm just getting sick of him.

[ninersgold]

He wants to go somewhere that is winning I doubt he wants to go to San Fran. The Cowboys would be crazy with TO and Ocho Cinco!

Problem is they will continue to choke in the playoffs as long as Romo is starter at QB, so who cares?

[Tracker]

Cowboys going after Chad and Pac Man possibly this year. They will not have many draft picks but they are close enough to a Superbowl contending team to make these kinds of moves immediate payoff.

It may really suck having to play against them and the rest of the NFC East this year.

[bilwit]

Yeah.. I'll probably still like him if he becomes a Cowboy, I just won't be cheering for them at all :( . And about what he said about the CJ+TJ = CJ+TO, I don't think so. So far, that I know of, there's only been one big-shot, loud mouth receiver on one given team, having two would be whole other story (TJ is a #1 receiver, but he's no talker like TO or CJ).

[Montana2Rice=TD]

im so sick of the cowboys getting great players for so cheap and they seem to always pan out. must be cuz there winning and the players they get all seem to come from teams going downhill or making lateral moves. hmm? im not sure. just wish we could do something like that and sign atleast 1 great player. lol just my thoughts.

:::::hands you grain of salt:::::

Because they aren't afraid of signing talented players with off the field problems to incentive based contracts. Its a win-win for them or any team not scared of losing nothing.

[EastCoastNiner]

Hmmmmmm......I can see him in a Patriots uniform...........:coolgleamA: .

I don't know how the hell CJ and TO would co-exist. Just does not compute.

That's because your brain isn't functional.

That's because your brain isn't functional.

Or maybe because I don't live in a fantasy world. Anyone could see how much of a trainwreck that'd be. And poor Romo would be stuck in the middle.

i enjoyed chad's entertainment up until he appeared on total access just before the super bowl. he is making himself out to be such a crybaby. everywhere he goes, he clearly signals he wants out of cincy, and he won't give in until the bengals finally do trade him. what a sorry excuse for an adult. i have no respect for people like that. i hope they do trade him to dallas with the outcome being the Bengals knocking the cowboys out of the playoffs

[SoSublime]

This isnt anything new, he also said he wanted to join the panthers and dolphins during superbowl week.

[badass316]

He should join the Raiders, at least there he'll be guaranteed the big bucks :money:

[Otis III]

I can't believe this. There won't be enough balls to go around with T.O. and Chad Johnson on the same team. Plus, I don't know if Chad Johnson would ever get along with T.O. They both have huge egos. It just wouldn't be a good move..... Man, I wish the Niners could trade for Chad Johnson. Does anyone know if the Niners are maybe looking into acquiring a guy like Chad Johnson? I was just wondering.

[9errealist]

Chad has finally joined the ranks or Owens and Moss as a loud mouth, cry baby pre madonna. He was just about at tears on NFL network. All this fuss over nothing, nobody told him to wear that HoF crap only to go on and have a string of bad games. It's not about Chad not being happy with his deal or the team, he's not happy with himself. He wants the spotlight to himself not sharing it with TJ who IMO is a better WR. The NFL needs to start cracking down on guys like him.

String of bad games or not, he had more yards last season than he's ever had before, and had more TDs than the previous season. Houshmandzadeh (your supposedly better WR) also had a string of poor games last season.

[Montana is tops]

Everyone who keeps up with football knows that Chad Johnson is bringing a lot of attention to himself. He's obviously not happy with Cincinatti. He has gone out on national TV and made that clear. Sooner or later The owner of the Bengals needs to do something about it.

I've been a fan of his for a long time. He is clearly one of the best recievers in the league. In the back of my mind I've always thought "if" the Niners had a chance to get him they should do it. After watching him on NFL Network I've had a change of heart. Should the Bengals trade him, I now feel that the Niners should pass. He is starting to become a cry baby. Kinda like T.O. and Randy. If they don't get their way then all hell breaks loose.

Although I don't think Nolan would sign him (if the opportunity should arise), it is very tempting. I think it's a very sad thing to watch someone of his talents be so selfish. What are your feelings about this situation, and would you sign him to the team?

Not tryin' to sound rude here but use the search button, everything that can be said about Chad Johnson has been said in one thread or another..From how people feel about him to what they'd give for him, to what number he would wear if he were here..everything.

[bezupcezdown]

Who cares about that crybaby .... I don't want him as a niner I would much rather see him as a division rival and watch P. Willis SMASH him .. a la HINES WARD :falldownlaugh:

You guys remember that time he was talking smack about the browns(i think) and that game came and he got BUSTED in his mouth :falldownlaugh:

I for one am all about new threads. I'm not about to go and search (search button, whatever) every thread to see if someone has said what I want to say.

Almost every time a new thread starts, someone says, "Why did you create a new thread? You should have used the search button." Now thats getting redundant. I'd rather see a new thread, then see the second response of every new thread be this same thing. What if I want to start a new thread and put it exactly in my language rather than someone else's? Seeing new threads makes it easier to find out what's being talked about right away than go and search endlessly for what others have said.

The point: who cares if someone starts a new thread even if there is another subject on it elsewhere buried deep in another thread.

I understand making another thread for something that hasn't been recently discussed or if you have an idea you wanna put out there.
But in a thread where you're just wanting to know what people think or looking for opinions I always find it just as easy and actually much more useful to just use the search.

No one is really talking about Chad Johnson in this thread. When a peanut butter and banana sandwich is the most talked about thing in a thread then it's probably because no one feels like talking about it anymore so it's usually more productive to use the search tool if you're just looking for opinions which is what he said he was wanting.

Exactly what are you wasting stray electrons or something. I for one am really tired of the troll like comments from people who say why didn't you search or Oh no not another thread on this or that. I really think there is to much of that and the other one about saying people don't have any football knowledge. The real taker in this category is the English police who put down people for their punctuation. Whether a fan is knowledgeable or not shouldn't have any effect on his right to post on this message board. All you get when you start acting trollish is offending people and lowering yourself.

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

people need to get off of chad johnson's case. the "distraction" label is thrown around way too loosely. chad is still a baller and would make any team better just for having him. at some point you just have to take the best players you can get. chad is that player. his actions won't have any negative impact on the team. he still goes out and balls when he's on the field. 49ers need to do whatever it takes to get him, unfortunately they won't.

[bilwit]

He wants to be on a team that gives him the highest chance of getting a ring.. unfortunately the 49ers is no where close to being on that list of teams..

It would suck to see him in Dallas across from TO.

[Vivek49erFan]

If chad had to go... go to Philly... then McNabb will have a good receiver again! Its gonna be T.O. all over again!!!

[49-26_IwasTHERE]

I'd take him in a heartbeat and according to this article, he'll be cheaper now.

he would have to restructure pay back his sign on bonus and have it delayed by a year or so but it is do able...i would like to get him for a 4th rounder.

[Iceburnztt]

Take him for a fourth rounder? You must really think highly of us if you think chad isn't worth dumping a load for. This guy has more ability than out while offense yet is only worth a 4th. We could consider it a steal to get him with a 1st considering what immediate change he would bring to the offense

That was my same argument and people thought i was trippin.. good point man you sure know the niners of the new mill..lol

[Montana2Rice=TD]

what if we trade THIS years 4th and NEXT YEARS 2nd for him?

then restructure Chad's contract and sign him to a cheaper 4 year deal. not alot cheaper but cheaper. we can offer him a fair sized contract and give him a good chunk of bonus money and save money like on clements deal.

(hopefully us getting him out of cincy finally he might take a little bit of a pay cut on the 4 year deal. since he will still be young enough to play somewhere else for more money when his time is up here).
we CAN find a new number 1 receiver in the draft by the time his contract expires with us!! thus making the 4 year contract a better deal for all.

i wont miss the 4th round pick TOO much. the 2nd rounder next year is a tough thought for alot of you guys to swallow but we are probably going to have to go after a receiver with it anyways and id like to have a guy ive seen SUCCEED in the nfl before, more than a guy i have to HOPE will have what it takes to be good IN THE NFL. we will have a chad johnson and our qb would finally have someone to throw to.

i dont think he will be a cancer here if we win and i think we would. i honestly think with chad we have the potential to be a 9-7 team right off the bat.

but we'd have to sit down with him and see if he wants what we want and can be a good teammate. ? i think if nolan sat down with him and took the time to listen to him and see what he wants and establish a bond with him we wouldnt have to worry about him being a cancer. if he is trade him. lol

[Montana2Rice=TD]

i dont know how much we have in cap space,or how much chads contract is worth right now with the bengals. im just thinking about everything but that. besides the restructuring comes later. lets just get him here!

[ozzcows]

We should trade our 5th round pick and Isaac Bruce...

both will turn out to be nothing anyway.

[Montana2Rice=TD]

we dont have our 5th anymore.

[BAKNAFEK88]

Would be nice to have Chad Johnson, but I am all for making a big splash right away with the start of next year's free agency. Let's go get Anquan Boldin.

I've seen way worse posts than this. What are you guys talking about?

We already blew our wad in free agency. If we went after Chad Johnson then someone else would probably have to get cut. Who would you rather have, all of the other FA's we signed, or Chad Johnson? That's pretty much what it would come down to financially.

Why is most fans up here trying to come up with this lame idea contracts, and trade values? You honestly believe one of the top 3 best WRs in the NFL is going to restructure his contract for a cheap arse price so the owners can make the most out of the deal? Yea like the Bengals are going to only want a 4th rounder, you know fully well at the minimal they are at least going to want/get a 2nd rounder. The guy deserves to make at least a good 5 million a year, if you were as good as him, you would want the same. That's like saying the 49ers are going to give away Willis for a 4th rounder, every fan up here would straight call out blasphemy!!

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

No it's not.

We have Isaac Bruce who's like 35 years old. Good player? Sure. I like the pickup. But he's not a gamebreaker.

And we have Bryant Johnson. Who, behind Boldin and Fitzgerald or not, was a #3 receiver and has never proven that he's anything more than that.

We don't have a proven #1 receiver. We have a bunch of #2's and #3's. Vernon Davis I think will be a monster, I think he just hasn't been utilized properly to this point. But we've used him so little that he is still a ? at this point. Though with that said, I do firmly believe that if we actually utilize Vernon Davis, he will be an absolute monster.

Chad Johnson, in my opinion, is exactly what we need right now. A huge playmaker that can actually make things happen on the offensive end. Gore is great, but I want a threat that can get us a huge 20+ yard play.

id have a hard time giving up 5 picks for adrian peterson or LT. much less reggie bush.

i might give you 5 picks for a walter payton or barry sanders but a REGGIE BUSH?????

Gore is a much better RB and for the price i would actually really have foster as his back up more than bush.

I continue to believe CJ will not be a Bengal next year. The rift between he and lewis is just getting larger. It's not about money. It's about Marvin insulting and blaming him for all of their problems and then just pushing, poking, and prodding further.

The bengals still have plenty of room to eat the 9million accelerated bonus.

He won't be a 49er, but he won't be a Bengal. Who could get him? Vikings? Jets? 2nd rounder might do it.

[MR. WEBBER]

LEWIS CALLS STINKO’S BLUFF
Posted by Mike Florio on April 1, 2008, 3:57 p.m.
Bengals coach Marvin Lewis, generally adopting an uncharacteristic tone of defiance in remarks from the league meetings in Palm Beach, has a message for receiver Chad Johnson a/k/a Ocho Stinko.

Play for us, or play for no one.

“We’ve been dealing with this inside for over a year and we’ll be prepared to move on,” Lewis said. “He has a contract through 2011. If he plays NFL football it will be in Cincinnati, or he has to do what he says and that’s retire. That would be a shame.”

Wow. But, wait. There’s more.

“A lot of people who really had an affection for him fan wise and people around the league see him in a different light and that’s unfortunate. Some of the things he’s gone on record and said one way or the other he’s going to have to deal with them one way or the other. . . . He’s said he’s probably going to sit out. I think you’ve got to own up and do it. . . . The Cincinnati Bengals hold the cards through the 2011 season.”

Actually, the Bengals hold the cards even longer, if Johnson holds out beyond the tenth week of the 2008 season. At that point, his contract would automatically be extended to 2012.

If/when Johnson comes back, he might not recognize the team. Because Lewis plans to make the team more physical, and to throw the ball less.

“We’ve got to go back and play physical football and be a different team,” Lewis said. “The coaches are well aware I’m not happy with it. . . . Everybody thinks it’s cute to throw the ball around the lot, but you don’t win games throwing the ball around the lot.”

Hey, we like what Lewis has to say. But we’re not sure that the passing game should be completely overlooked. Running the ball and stopping the run better than anyone else didn’t even yield a playoff berth for the Vikings.

Still, it’s time for an attitude change in Cincinnati. Lewis is the one who helped create the current atmosphere by putting up with Johnson’s crap. Standing up to Johnson might create a T.O.-style soap opera, but it also will help Lewis regain the trust and respect of the locker room.

sounds like if he doesnt play for the bengals he isnt playing at all this year.good for marvin lewis and the bengals for putting their foot down and not letting a player call the shots.even though i love johnson as a player i think his antics are childish

I hope he sits out. Marvin will get fired after the Bengals under-achieve again next year then he can come back for the new coach.

Why play hard for someone who publicly blames you for the team's defensive woes..

I love that when Marvin arrived in Cinci he immediately traded and released some talented players because "anyone that doesn't want to be here can leave." Now he'll hold a player he vocally says hurts the team, just..because?

[MR. WEBBER]

it would be the organization that makes him sit out,not marvin.all marvin can do is not play him.

Dude are you guys watching this on Sportscenter?????? haha this is pretty ridiculous I have never seen anything like that.

Yeah I saw it. Is it me or does Chad Johnson give some horrible interviews I mean that was one of the worst interviews ever. It just seemed really awkward the whole time

[MR. WEBBER]

for those of us that missed it.can you recap,or just tell us why it was so bad

[txboi]

for those of us that missed it.can you recap,or just tell us why it was so bad

They asked him if he would keep his mouth shut from now on even though the team wouldn't make no changes and he said that no that he would never change. Then when the interviewer was ready to let him go Chad didn't want the interview to be over so the interviewer than said if he had anything to add and there was silence it was just awkward I thought.

[txboi]

he also said this http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/nfl#

[Rockyn]

If you're talking about the Brian Kenny one, I just watched it. And WOW. That was awkward.

[Adrian]

After watching Johnson's interview Brian Kenney last night, I officially award the Bronze medal of stupidity to this moron.

3rd to only Pacman and Chris Henry.

That interview was embarrassing to watch. I just love all the class and decency all these modern athletes show.

Sadly, gone are the days of Cal Ripken and Brett Favre. Now for the most part we have total ***hole superstars like Tiger Woods, Chad Johnson, and TO.

I wish most athletes still played because of the love of the game...but it just doesnt seem that way anymore.

Even Lebron James is trying to become the first NBA billionaire by becoming Warren Buffett's "apprentice". For real Lebron? Like you need anymore friggin money..

[txboi]

Yeah thats the one By far the worst interview ever. They should give Kenny a raise after having to put up with that bull ****

Just an update:

I was listening to Sirius NFL radio today and this tidbit came up. The producer was trying to get Chad Johnson on the show cause he had been on many times before and chad johnson basically said he has nothing else to say, that he had said it all already then he followed it up by quote:

"You know I'm outta here, you know I'm outta here."

[Douce]

We need Ocho Cinco more than we need our 1st rd pick this year!! I'd give our 1st this year and a couple picks 3-5 this year or next...

[Iowa49erFan]

I dont know if I should feel sorry for the guy or what. Its hard to see what he is going through but it is obvious that he is truly unhappy. Its unfortunate and I among many others on this board would love to see him here on the Niners but he wants to go somewhere that win and we arent that team right now unfortunately.

I disagree that we aren't that team... Every year a team surprises people. Our D is built to win now. Our O is missing a playmaker in the passing game. We have a couple spped WRs, a vet, and a couple possession guys. If you add a CJ to the mix with Gore and VD, we could be a force.

Our D wasnt that bad last year and I would hardly say that our O is in line. We need to fix our QB problem before anything and I would hope that it happens this year.

Dont get me wrong, I would love nothing more than the Niners to come out here and blow everyone out of the water. Hell we were supposed to be a cinderella team last year but that didnt quite go our way. I still think we need a year or so to fix this team to make us playoff bound.

[MR. WEBBER]

you are nuts if you really think we should give up that much for him.he has a piss poor attitude.he gets mad at carson palmer for not throwing him the ball,can you imagine what he would do or say with our qb situation?give me a break.he is a great talent,ill give you that.but it just wouldnt work here,i wish this thread would just die.

Fixed. 55 Sacks!

And no, it's not Alex Smith's fault because he wasn't the one getting sacked in the majority of those numbers!

yea he's definitely not worth that, and certainly not to the 49ers.

But c'mon every single talented wide receiver not getting the ball when they're open on a team that is losing the game gets in the face of their quarterback. Yes, that includes our golden boy Rice. The same applies to RBs who are talented and not getting the ball..

Ya, Brett Favre was a real class act when he opened his mouth to undermind Javon Walkers' contract situation, or went out of his way to say that he wouldn't do **** to help teach Aaron Rodgers, a rookie at the time, the ropes of being an NFL QB.

Also, explain how Chad Johnson wanted to be traded means he doesn't play because he loves the game; he's making big bucks in Cinncinatti, and wants out because he doesn't agree with how the team is run and because he wants to WIN.

So I guess the question is, if Cincy is willing to part with him, what it would cost us.

[MR. WEBBER]

cincy already said they are not parting with him,they said if he isnt playing for the bengals he isnt playing this year.

plus with them cutting henry it makes no sense to try and trade johnson,it would leave them with one wr.that being the case i think they would be asking way too much for his services

[WhistlingMtn]

oh they'll part with him. that team is a mess.

[sf49ergirl85]

Meh.

Wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh said Thursday it would be best if the Cincinnati Bengals and disgruntled receiver Chad Johnson parted ways.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3351518

Even the teammates agree that Chad should be dealt.

Interesting turn of events.

I heard this on KNBR today. I think that the bengals have to trade him. Now Chad Johnson is saying his QB is full of **** and now his WR counterpart is saying he needs to go

[JASON]

Chads just taking a page from the book called TO 101!

[will_clark_jr]

If Ocho cinco wants out of cincy why are the niners pouncing on that ****. They aren't going to get crap as low as they are in the first round anyway. Bundle some picks and go get him. Hes only 28 or 29, deal with the attitude and get the playmaker...........

There's a million threads on this.

All of them came down to:

Cinci won't trade him.
He wants a ring and won't get one here.
Not the type of player that Nolan likes.
Would cost us too much.

[lopez070]

The Bengels need a corner so give them Walt and the 4th or the 3rd rounder and with our 2nd round we pick up a corner.

[THEM9ERZ]

FOR ALL YOU CHAD HATERS OUT THERE!!!!! MR T.O 2.0 AND ALL THAT BULL CRAP..

I think its sad that when a player is unhappy that he is looked at like a bad person.... but when a player like JERRY RICE after giveing his hole football life to a franchise gets dropped like a pice of trash and shown NO RESPECT at all its ok? NO. but yet there was no bad things said on here about the franchise i think thats wrong........SO...... you have to know that all these players know that wether they are loud or keep there mouth shut when they cant run and jump as fast and get old and make way for the new upcomeing talent in the N.F.L. they will be droped and forgotten... SO WHILE THEY STILL GOT IT WHY NOT DEMAND TO BE HAPPY? get your money, your trade, your ring get what it is you want because the truth is when your done in the eyes of the team that pays you... they will get what they want and what they want WONT BE YOU!!!!!!!!!!:nonono:

Separate your homerism the two situation could not be more different. One had no contract and was not resigned the other is purposefully violating his contract terms because he's unhappy and wants to force the team to do his bidding.
How can you even compare the two?

he is new and just trying to fit in.but your right his argument makes no sense what so ever

[theredandgold]

......... if its a WR it better be us using the pick in a trade to aquire Chad Johnson. IMO we dont even need to go WR in the first, or second at that, so if we feel WR is that much of a need to use a first round or early second round on a WR, make a trade for CJ happen. Again do i think we need him, no, but he will be far more productive than anyone in this draft.

[Chad]

i would love it if that hppens :hoppy:

[WhistlingMtn]

Trading for a receiver over 30 is for teams who pretty much ONLY need a receiver.

49ers are a young team, wouldn't be a good deal.

Teams who should be in negotiations.. vikings ( except they're currently in negotiations with Allen ), Jaguars, Titans, Eagles.. to a lesser degree, the Chargers.

[youngjay1225]

There has to be a way to get Chad. I know he's expensive but he will change this team no matter who's at qb.

[-BayAreaJunkie-]
