Adios Ocho?

I understand the financial ramifications of trading Chad Johnson, but there is no way this guy can play for the Bengals again.

How could Chad possibly walk back into that locker room and look guys like Willie Anderson, Carson Palmer and even T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the eye? If what he told ESPN's John Clayton is true (wanting to be traded and telling Carson to stay out of his business), the Bengals have to move him. The problem for the Bengals...they lose a pro-bowl wide receiver and Chad wins. He gets what he wants.

In a perfect world, the Bengals hold onto him and suspended him for the year. But, that doesn't make dollars and sense. So, they really have two choices...play him or trade him. Right now, I just don't see how they can play him after everything he's said about the organization.

I just wish more guys would take pride in being part of the solution instead of compounding the problem. Chad just doesn't seem willing to do that and it appears he's lit the match and the bridge is burning.
