Chad Johnson has bidders
Perhaps the most interesting part of the latest round of Ocho Cinco blather was Adam Schefter's note that Cincy has already received an offer of two first-day picks for Johnson. (Is that the old first day - three rounds - or the new first day of two rounds? I'm guesing the former).
If someone is offering that much before the draft, the price should go up on draft day. And that means the Bengals would have to consider the offer, even though I think he'll stay put. So is this mystery team? Here are my five best guesses based on ammunition (draft picks) and need.
1. Dallas: With an extra first-round pick, they could offer a first and a third. Ocho Cinco would certainly add some 'Wow'.
2. Redskins:They have an extra third-round pick, a huge need, and a history of risk-taking moves. Johnson is a known commodity and while the depth is poor in Washington, this might be worth the risk.
3. Eagles: Philly desperately wants a game-changer, but they don't have any extra early picks. I don't think they'd feel comfortable giving up two for Chad unless they could acquire other picks elsewhere along the way.
4. Atlanta: They could use some offensive firepower and have six picks in the first three rounds. But Johnson doesn't make sense on a rebuilding team.
5. Jaguars: They have an extra first day pick, but have probably spent too much on receivers this offseason already.
6. Patriots: Bill Belichick loves Johnson and has an extra third-rounder, but Johnson just doesn't fit on their roster after signing Moss.
Update:Chad's uproar has already lost the support of one depressed Bengals fan.
