Ocho Cinco

[gotadew]

Figured I would start this thread now. With a day or so left, they will either trade him by saturday, as Cincy says they want Crabtree if they get rid of Ocho. Should be interesting. Who wants to weigh in now.
1. Does he get traded by saturday?
2. Who does he get traded too?

Oh for sure. He is beyond a distraction. The distraction isnt even the main problem if you ask me. The main problem is the fact that he dogged it all last year, and will again this year until he gets his way. He is using the Randy Moss model. His numbers last year were pathetic, plain and simple, and even if you dont like him, would have to acknowledge that he is a better player then what showed last season.

i watched him in the skills showcase a couple years ago and he was unreal! i agree he is dogging it and its a shame he got paid just goes to show you how ignorant some people can be he would of probally been traded already if he played at full potential last year. Nobody wants a player like that around

Yup, excellent point. Its his own fault, he could have been traded by now, but the Bengals are clearly keeping him just to spite him at this point. I hope we get somebody that wants to play for the team this year, one way or another.

They had their chance to trade him before last year and didn't do it. The Redskins made some ridiculous offer like a first and a second round pick for him, which the Bengals should have jumped at, but didn't. There is no way they are going to get anything even close to that now.

The Bengals owner, Mike Brown, has to be one of the worst owners in all of major league sports. He won't trade Chad just to prove a point, even though not trading him is detrimental to the team.

Listening to Marvin Lewis the past couple of years, it's clear he's a company man now and is drinking Brown's kool-aid.

I do not agree with the Bengals drafting Crabtree, they shouldn't draft anyone under 300 lbs the first day.

They were offered a first AND second round pick for him? I'd take that no problem. There are very few players that I wouldn't trade for a first and second rounder.

I think he is a Bengal until his contract expires.

After last year's performance, I don't think anyone wants him. His value is definitely down, so he may end up nowhere. Of course, dumbass McDiapers may trade for him...

Well think about it, it would follow Belicheats ways. He got moss, and look how he turned out again.
So ya, his stock may be down, the Bengals will get screwed either way at this point, and Ocho has nowhere to go but back up. Unless hes done, which he isnt, someone is going to get a steal if you ask me.
