Bengals All-Pro WR Chad Johnson is likely to be on the trading block this off-season. He cries some time like T.O. but he could solve a lot of problems on the Birds offense if they were to work out a trade for him. The Enquirer in Cincinatti agrees with me.
This guy is a proven playmaker. You can look at his stats throughout his career and see that he's always been productive. The guy has six consecutive 1000 yard seasons. Defenses would have to double team Johnson and that would free up the rest of the Birds receivers. It would also create an unsolvable problem for opposing defenses because they wouldn't be able to focus on Brian Westbrook without getting burned by Johnson. This is the formula which worked in 2004 and it helped the Birds reach the Super Bowl.
Yes Johnson is somewhat of a head case, but he wouldn't create the problems that Terrell Owens created. He's a guy worth going after because he would make the Birds a legitimate Super Bowl contender. I could see Kevin Curtis with his quickness working in the slot position in much the same way Wes Welker has been able to perform for the Patriots.
Like Owens Chad is a crier but so what we will win with him. Reggie Brown never cries but he doesn't ever have 200 yards game like Johnson.

This guy Chad Johnson can play. The Eagles receivers couldn't put together this type of highlight video. Warning this video has some profanity in the music.
