Yeah...this is a labor issue alright. As for you Redskins fans....how happy do you think Chad will be if it's Todd Collins or Jason Campbell throwing him the ball instead of Carson?

Unfortunately for Bengal fans, I think he's going to discover that it's best just to cut your losses and move on. It's almost impossible to imagine someone with as much ego and pride as CJ caving in and making a professional effort in 2008 under these circumstances. I think Chad can repay the portion of his bonus not yet earned (still to hit the cap) as a way to facilitate a deal. I know Ross Verba paid back some bonus money to Cleveland in exchange for his release a few years ago. I would think the same could be done as part of a trade deal. Chad's going to want a new contract if he gets traded anyway.

However, now, despite the cap hit, I think it would be best for the Bengals to just unload him. We should be able to get a first rounder for him. He is obviously going to be a cancer again, calling out Carson in the media does not help matters at all. I say again because it is obvious that he had some sort of physical altercation with Marvin Lewis during halftime of the 2005 playoff game and since then it has been downhill with the guy in the Nati. Get Ocho Stinko and his grill out of here. I thought at first it would be best to just let him sit out and pout.

In the 90's our owner wouldn't pay for talent in FA. In the 2000's we continue to suck it up until Marvin comes to town and gives us hope only to have our draft picks turn into the turds they are. Now, our owner finally starts to show an interest in competing and our star player is whining like a little b*%ch! I hope Mike handles this like his father would, bench him. Either way this season is a waste. If he plays the distraction is too much to overcome. If he sits the distraction is too much to overcome. Trade him and we lose 8 Million. The only thing that would make this Bengals fan happy is to have Mike and Marvin continue to play tough and at least make a statement by sitting him. Let him cry and do push-ups or sit-ups in the driveway. Chad is nothing more than a little girl. When did it become acceptable to cry and moan when your making millions?

So Chad just has 3 1/2 years to go until Mike gets done holding him in Cincy with his current contract & possibly F-tags until he longer has the talent to demand a big contract. Does anyone know how many years he has left on his current deal? (Sorry if I missed it in past articles) Hey, it only took Corey Dillon 4 years or so to get his wish.

As a huge fan myself and former Chad supporter, I am not looking forward to the mass amounts of negative coverage that will come from this. I felt for Philly fans in '05 with TO, and I don't see it being much different during the pre-season, including Bengals' front office refusing to deal him. This team can't afford this kind of distraction, they simply don't have the winning mentality to overcome it and get ready for a tough beginning of the season. Chad- get your head on straight.

But even if the owner wants to, at what time do Bengal players express frustration having him around? The press will also demand how sitting him is helping a team with veterans at the QB, RB, and WR position whose window of opportunity is now. The fans will get restless, boo, not buy tickets. In the end, it seems like a no-brainer to take a 1st rounder for this guy. Even if he plays, how much does he help the team win when you factor in everything? Teams that might want Chad and have a mid-low 1st round pick: Seattle (west coast guy, small window in Seattle), Minnesota (doubt coach wants to deal with it, but imagine pairing him with AP), Tampa Bay (Gruden always willing to take on O players), Indianapolis (??whoa), Washington could use him, though I doubt Zorn wants that his 1st year.

I simply don't see how the Cowboys could trade for Chad and Financially get away with prospering in other positions on that team. I really don't think that Chad is going anywhere this year. Due to the cap hit that the Bengals would endure because of the trade. Which sucks for the Bengals who will enjoy yet another year not sniffing the playoffs due to the disruption 85 will cause.
