Chad

Johnson

He attached a note to Daylon McCutheon that read, “Daylon, just wanted to add a little color and relief to your week. All the best,Chad. #85" Chad Johnson is awesome. We expect him to have his best day of the season this weekend.

He’ll play Sunday and remains an every-week fantasy starter.

Johnson is asking fans to bring $1 to Sunday’s game to pay for the fine he’ll incur for an end-zone celebration. For the rematch against Cleveland on Nov. 28, he’s asking fans to bring a bottle of Pepto-Bismol. “That’s not wise,” Lewis said.

He still caught 10 passes for 117 yards, although he forgot to do a planned “Pepto Dance” when he scored a TD. It’s our loss.

Johnson is signed through 2009 under a very reasonable deal. Johnson says the switch to Drew Rosenhaus is to increase his off-the-field exposure.

Johnson was on the ground in pain for a while. ''It wasn’t scary at all. I watch him writhe in pain a couple of times a week,’' coach Marvin Lewis said.

“No. 1, the guy has a contract through 2011, OK,” Lewis said. “Our player (Johnson), we know is very passionate about the game. He continues to play at a very, very high level. He has been very, very productive. He has been well-compensated. We’ve had a great relationship. That’s not going to change.”

The Redskins are almost certainly also in the mix. ESPN’s John Clayton says the Bengals still don’t want to trade Johnson, but it will be hard to pass on an offer if they’re blown away.

Trading for Ocho Cinco could free up Oakland to use the No. 7 overall pick on the best player available. For now Al Davis is probably thinking wide receiver. The Bengals were offered two first-round picks for Johnson last offseason and surely wish they would’ve taken the deal. The 31-year-old might not get them more than a second-rounder this year.

Ochocinco has a long history with new Raiders coach Hue Jackson, who he called the “Best receiver coach I ever had” in a recent tweet. Added Ocho, “It would be refreshing to be with Hue Jackson again. I know I wouldn’t have to worry about being thrown under a bus again.” Oakland is loaded with young wideouts, however, and Ocho might block their development.
