Chad Johnson

Chad Johnson used to be one of my favorite fantasy football players. While Chad was not a consistent producer week to week in '06 and '07, in the end he put his numbers up for your team. Racking up close to 90 reception, 1,400 yards and 8 touchdowns, every season. This was the kind of production that made fantasy owners select Johnson year after year in the top 15 receivers on draft day. 2008 meltdown In the 2008 off-season Chad Johnson tried just about everything to get a new contract or be dealt. But in the end, head coach Marvin Lewis and Bengals management ... Read Full Story

In another sign that the Bengals are working to change their reputation as stubbornly unaggressive, ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported on Thursday that the team had pursued a trade with Dallas for second-year TE Martellus Bennett. On Wednesday, Jerry Jones had mentioned vaguely that they had received an offer from another team, but had turned it down.

He had a perfectly good name: Chad Johnson. Yet the Cincinnati Bengals receiver wanted to have “Ocho Cinco” on his back (the Spanish translation of his jersey number (85), and a trademark he uses to hawk merchandise on his website). When the NFL wouldn’t let him, Johnson went to court in Florida last summer and had his name legally changed to Ocho Cinco.
