Chad to Play for Another Team... The AFC Pro Bowlers

Randy Moss' exit from the Pro Bowl is Chad Johnson's gain. Moss pulled out of the Pro Bowl from an injury sustained in the Super Bowl and Chad Johnson has been invited to take his place. Johnson has now made the Pro Bowl in 5 of the past 7 seasons. He will join fellow Bengals receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh.

Trading Chad Costly

If the Bengals decided to trade or release Chad Johnson, the Bengals would take an $8 million cap hit. With such a large number, trading Johnson seems unlikely.

Chad Will Not Sit Out

After an ESPN.com report that Chad Johnson was threatening to sit out the 2008 season, Johnson's agent Drew Rosenhaus said that "Chad Johnson will play football in 2008." Now if it will be for the Bengals... that's a different story. Especially after Chad's comments about feeling "betrayed" by Marvin Lewis.

Bengals Sign Another Palmer QB

Chad Johnson on Jim Rome

Chad Johnson again expressed his displeasure with the organization, this time on Jim Rome. Chad mentioned that his experience with the Bengals has "been bad." Here's part of the interview.

JR: Are you happy in Cincinnati?
CJ: I’m not allowed to say. I get the blame, the so-called best player, I’m the problem. Someone in-house is spreading this. Maybe they want me to quiet down (and) stop being me. That is not going to happen. I can’t function that way. I tried it. It sucked. There was no excitement.

JR: Can they make it right with you?
CJ: I think I could be here all season long, on your show.

JR: Is it blown up or fixable?
CJ: I’m leaving that to Drew. It’s been bad (with the Bengals). I’m the scapegoat. A lot of stuff in-house is happening I’m not fond of. It doesn’t sit well with me. I have fun. I’m a little outlandish. I produce. I do everything to help us win.

JR: Who does have your back?
CJ: T.J. (Houshmandzadeh) has my back. Carson (Palmer). That’s it. That’s really it.”

Chad to Dolphins?

Rumors have started concerning Chad Johnson to the Dolphins after Johnson said on Saturday, "Bill Parcells, call me."
