Chad Johnson Vents

After Chad Johnson's appearance on ESPN's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" the Bengals were left shaking their head.

Johnson proclaimed, "I've been labeled as selfish, as the reason we're losing. I've been told I've been a cancer to my team." Chad went on to say that if he is indeed a cancer, "then the team would need to get chemo. If I am a problem, the problem needs to be dealth with." Johnson went on to say, "Now the season is over, I was the problem, I have been a distraction. Chad Johnson, the fingers were pointed at me. My celebrations, all this stuff was the reason we were losing. The only thing for me to do or say now is, if you guys, as a team and organization, want to further yourself in the playoffs, I think you need to get rid of what the problem was during the seaosn."

Head Coach Marvin Lewis responded by nixing all trade rumors. "He's going to go back and be a pro and go forward and play. As I said then, there will be no trade of Chad Johnson. Repeat it again."

Johnson is the Bengals all-time leader in receptions (555) and receiving yards (8234).
