Anyone see the offer the Bengles received from the Redskins for Johnson? Good offer, not sure if I would accept it though, look at it like this....
If the Bengles trade Chad for the 21st pick this year, or its around that range, they are probably getting a guy who wont have a big impact this year. They would have to draft a WR because there WR core would be depleated. The pick they would receive in next years draft would be anywhere from a 1st to 3rd round pick. It would probably in the high teens or low twenties again, so its another coinflip pick. This is for one of the best WR's in the league? Not sure if thats enough.
But, when you look at the fact that he might not play, are they just going to leave him on the bench? That would really hurt the Bengles, they would be completely depleated, so why not get something back for him?
This is what I think, if they get a good enough offer, trade him. Maybe a first round pick and a good player, not a great player, but a solid defensive player. This would help there biggest need, which is there entire defense and they would get a first round pick, now you would be getting a proven player and a first pick, that trade would make sense to me. If you dont receive that offer, keep him, is he really going to sit out the season, watch that paycheck pass him bye? I dont think so, it would be a risk, but without a great offer, you can give up a great receiver.
So: If they dont get a better offer than the Redskins offer, they should keep Chad.
Thought I would bring this topic up, anybody have any thoughts, what do you think the Bengles should do, now that there has been an official, good offer on the table?
