Trade Demand
After the 2007 season, Chad Johnson began making comments to the media about playing for other teams besides the Bengals. In March of 2008, Johnson said that he wanted to be traded before or soon after the NFL Draft, threatening to sit out for the 2008 season if a trade was not made. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis made it clear that Johnson would not be traded and that he can either play football or sit on the bench. Johnson also stated that he would not be attending any of the Bengals preseason workouts or camps. On April 22, The Washington Redskins proposed a trade for Johnson in exchange for a first round pick in the 2008 Draft and a 2009 pick. The Bengals declined the offer, as they would receive an $8 million dollar salary cap penalty if they were to trade Johnson. Johnson's contract with the Bengals runs through 2011.
