I hope they don't give into the demands of Ocho Stinko. Lewis will be gone after this season and they can do a housecleaning. I'm sure the Cowboys would take any of the felons on the Cincy roster. |

When does his contract expire? Seems like a lost cause, might as well get some value for him while it is still high.

I think he has a couple of years left, as they reworked his contract and gave him more money. Actually it's not a lost cause at all. All the Bengals have to do is put up with his mouth for a couple of months. He has to perform at a high level, due to incentives in his contract. He won't miss the season opener. This is not new ground for Cincy as Corey Dillon whined for years, to no avail. |

From 2006 --
Quote:
The three-time Pro Bowl performer and consummate showman, one of the most explosive playmakers in the league at any position, on Thursday signed a new contract with the Bengals, ESPN.com has learned. The lucrative deal includes a one-year extension, through the 2010 season, and an option for the Bengals to extend the contract through 2011, if they so desire.
In essence, by restructuring the remainder of Johnson's existing contract, which was set to run through the 2009 campaign, the Bengals created a six-year deal with a total value of $35.5 million.

Big cap hit implications if the Bengals deal Chad.
Quote:
the Bengals would take an $8 million salary cap hit by trading Johnson before June 1.
While the Bengals aren't always known for their business acumen, even they can figure this one out.

If we take Malcolm Kelly at 9 overall I am disowning the Bengals and not watching an NFL game next season. There is absolutely no excuse for not going DT/LB with our first pick. None at all.

In response to the release of Chris Henry and the dwindling receiver corps, the Bengals signed free-agent wide receiver Doug Gabriel to a one-year contract. With 101 catches, Gabriel becomes the team's most experienced NFL receiver behind T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson. Antonio Chatman, heading into his sixth season, has 93 career catches.

Without knowing his specific health / injury status, I initially like this pickup. He seemed to have some skills/potential with the Raiders. He's got some height (6'2"). And with only a 1 year contract, I look at it as a low risk aquisition.
...probably helps the Bungles keep the pressure off from drafting a WR 'till after the 2nd or 3rd round, hopefully.
Unless someone very unexpectedly falls into their lap in one of those rounds, I'll be [censored]ed if they go any direction other than defense the first 2 rounds, specifically Sedrick Ellis or trade down @ the #9 pick.

Me too, unless they get rid of our management. If we don't use our first 2 picks for our front 7, they deserve 10 more years of losing. Problem is that we don't.
