madmike1 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Washington offered them an 08 1 and a 09 pick that could turn into another 1 for Chad Johnson. I can't see them getting a better offer than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 What about the cap relief? I think thats the biggest problem with moving Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike1 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 What about the cap relief? I think thats the biggest problem with moving Chad. They are better off taking the cap hit and the picks then dealing with the problem that Johnson is gonna create for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 They are better off taking the cap hit and the picks then dealing with the problem that Johnson is gonna create for them... Maybe they'll just deactivate him...or holding out for a better deal, I guess. Never mind about the money FTA: Trading Johnson also would mean Cincinnati would take an $8 million salary-cap hit, but that amount could be split over the next two years. Additionally, as one owner who wished to remain anonymous told ESPN.com, "There's nothing wrong with dead money. It's cash already paid and it's cash back in your pocket that you don't have to spend, especially with the [high] amount of everyone's salary cap these days."

Mavrik Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 maybe the criminal records of this year's 1st round crop aren't high enough to warrant getting another 1st rounder for the Bungles. That seems to be the main criteria for playing in Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the exact details of his contract, but according to rotoworld (who is usually pretty accurate), his cap hit in 2008 is scheduled to be $6.3M. If they take an $8M cap hit it isn't an additional $8M cap hit. It's just the total hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterNorth09 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Ocho Cinco wants it both ways. He wants out of Cincy AND to keep his current contract or get a better one. He better temper his expectations. The Bengals are a cheap organization and are not going to take a significant cap hit just to get rid of him.
