Chad Johnson Needs to be Released ASAP

Chad Johnson, who calls himself Chad Ocho Cinco these days, can be a very good wide receiver in the NFL. But after all his recent lunacy, he’s just not worth it anymore for the Cincinnati Bengals.

The latest transgression led to Mr. Ocho Cinco getting el deactivatedo against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday. The issue in question was reportedly a team meeting that was skipped.

Whatever the details, the Bengals would be better off without him. Trade him to a team (Dallas Cowboys will be interested to take him on, especially now that he’s certified crazy) and rebuild the wide receiving corps around TJ Houshmandzadeh.

Chad Johnson loves to talk, loves to seek out as much glory as possible and apparently enjoys changing his name. But he’s not a winner and he almost never has the team’s number one interest in mind.

Adios, Ocho Cinco.
