DEONLINE.COM is saying that Philly may make a play with the Bills for the 11th spot- then promptly suggests that they could take Devin Thomas with that pick.
That would be a surprise and a half.

I expect it to be 1 of the tackles we all have re-hashed over and over again-- a possibility that was also suggested by DEONLINE.COM

How serious are the Cincinnati Bengals about not giving in to Chad Johnson's trade demands?

Serious enough to swat away an offer from the Washington Redskins that could have netted the Bengals two first round draft picks, team and league sources said.

The Redskins offered this year's first round pick, No. 21 overall, and a conditional third rounder in 2009 that could escalate to a first rounder if Johnson and the Redskins hit certain performance levels, the sources said.

It was not the first time the Redskins approached the Bengals about a deal but it was the first significant proposal.

The Bengals have not only rejected the Redskins, but two other NFC East suitors -- the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles -- have been informed that there has been no change in the team's position that Johnson will not be traded.

The Bengals have noted to those suitors that Johnson has been the "second-highest paid receiver" in the NFL during the past three years, indignant about suggestions that Johnson also wants a new contract, the sources said.

Trading Johnson also would mean Cincinnati would take an $8 million salary cap hit, but that amount could be split over the next two years. Additionally, as one anonymous owner told ESPN.com, "There's nothing wrong with dead money. It's cash already paid and it's cash back in your pocket that you don't have to spend, especially with the [high] amount of everyone's salary cap these days."

If that report is accurate, the Bengals are retarded. 2 first round picks for a player who might site out, hasn't won a single playoff game for you, and is likely to be a lock room cancer this year?

Certain organizations can be counted on for that kinda ignorance.

The Bungles are 1 such organization.

Plus, the Skins should be terrible next year with a new rookie coach and a strong division. You're looking at a pick in the first 15.

Forget negotiating with terrorists...2 first round picks is too much for a model citizen WR like Fitzgerald, let alone a potential problem with Roenwhore pulling the strings.

I thought you said one was a conditional third rounder

The conditional 3rd would become a 1st if CJ hit certain performance clauses.

The Bengals want to prove a point. And they're willing to give up on ludicrous offers to make that point known. And it's hard to think that some owners aren't in their corner, either.

1st and a 3rd guaranteed and I imagine the performance incentives would be met anyway.

Or the kicker will be demanding that his ambiguously gay roommate/tag team partner should stick around, even though he's of no real use to the team.

If CJ's entire biatch stand is about $$$$$, wouldnt it seem reasonable to assume (esp. with the Skins who toss money around to older players like a 21 yr old does 1's in a Strip Club) that they'd work it so that CJ would have incentives that would be met easily for him monetarily- hence, their pick would become another 1st from the third initially reported/agreed upon?
