League insiders (whoever they may be) are saying that Washington has them some Chad Johnson fever. From the Washington Post:

“Numerous league sources, including some with direct knowledge of conversations between Snyder, Cerrato and recent head coaching candidates, have affirmed that the Redskins have interest in trading for Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson, with two league sources saying Johnson is eager to land a hefty new contract from Washington.

Acquiring an elite receiver is Snyder’s top priority, league sources said. The Bengals have said they have no intention of trading Johnson, but his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, is working quietly to broker a deal, the sources said.”

Fine. Make it a second round pick and we’ve got a deal. Well, as long as the Bengals are willing to swallow a horrible cap hit that they would have to take by dealing Johnson. And, now that I think about it, owner Mike Brown doesn’t ever take finanical hits on anything. So, sorry league insiders, nice try. I will file that under I-will-believe-it-when-I-see-it. Never mind that getting the Chad Johnson insanity out of Cincinnati would be well worth the cap hit, Mike Brown usually don’t play that when it comes to money.

Damn.
