Bengals giving away Chad Johnson jerseys (1 Viewer)

[Andy Herron]

For those who have not seen it on Bengals.com or if you don't drive by Paul Brown Stadium, for each $50 you spend at the Bengals Pro Shop for a limited time, you receive a free No. 85 jersey. Either C. Johnson or Ocho Cinco. Some are taking this as the tell-all sign that Chad is on his way out of town.

It still might happen, but let's hold on a minute. If a team was going to telegraph a move ahead of time, No. 3 jerseys down the street at Great American Ballpark would've been on sale for at least a year.

Just a guess here, but like all teams at the end of the year, the Bengals have a ton of end-of-season inventory, especially No. 85 jerseys. They are the most popular which means the team stocks a lot of them. For those that remember our stories from Chad's name change, Reebok waited a long time to bring Ocho Cinco jerseys out because there are a lot of C. Johnson ones still for sale. Pro shops are just like any other retail business -- they need to clear existing inventory.

To the left of the ad announcing the promo on the Bengals website is a Visa ad. If you click on it, it says for the first charge on a Bengals' Rewards Card, you get a free Carson Palmer jersey. Does that mean he is leaving too?

Will it ruin my credit score if I sign up, buy a candy bar, and pay the card off in order to get a Palmer jersey?

Did they ever think that maybe if they don't charge $50-150 a jersey people would buy more?

Nah, that makes too much sense...

Start hiding stupid end zone celebrations.

Nope. Go right ahead. Just pay it on time, and keep it open for a few months.
