Is There Any Value To This Rumor? (1 Viewer)

Chad Johnson trade rumors on the heel of Chris Henry returning from his suspension. Does Henry's suspension allow him to come back in week 8 or week 9?

Yep! Trade deadline has passed. Any CJ deal will come in the offseason, though I do not see it happening.

 
There are rumors he'll be shopped in the offseason. He cannot be traded before that time as the deadline has already passed.

 
Henry cant return until week 10
Yes, week 10 it is. The 8 game suspension with the bye (5) in the middle. He's due back just in time for the game @Baltimore. Should be fun.As for Chad Johnson and the trade talk, "where there's smoke, there's fire". Unless things change between now and the offseason, he'll be gone if they find a taker. It still takes two to make a trade. It would cost the Bengals roughly $3 million towards next year's cap. Not that big of a hurdle.

 
Why on Earth would the Bengals want to trade Chad Johnson?
Player for player trades almost never happen, but if they could get a star on D, it might be worth it.
That makes the devil in me suggest the obligatory Jason Taylor for Chad Johnson laugher. As a fan of the Dolphins and somebody who loves watching the Bengals O when they're really on, I sincerely hope that Taylor is a Dolphin in 2008 and Johnson is a Bengal.

A widely dispersed rumor described Chad taking a swing at Marvin Lewis at halftime of their 2005 wild card playoff loss to the Steelers. This year, at least once and maybe twice, Chad and Carson Palmer have had obvious on-field disagreements.In each case, a happy spin has been put on these skirmishes, but it's not too hard to believe that may be simply PR speak. It's also natural then to speculate that a trade may be in order when a player, no matter how talented, cannot get along with both the head coach and the QB. But that cannot happen until the offseason now.

Chad Johnson is a slightly smarter Terrell Owens with worse teeth. It's always just been a question of how the media treats them.
