Chad Johnson shows, sits
By Brian Doyle
Chad Johnson showed up at camp, put on his pads, and stood on the sidelines. The disgruntled star arrived at practice true to his word as reported previously at fantasyobsession.com, but did not participate.
Johnson who is unhappy with his contract made his statement by arriving at practice late and in his practice gear, but not joining his teammates in drills. He is unhappy with not receiving his trade request (the team turned down an offer by the Redskins) and in the past has stated he would be willing to sit the year.
So true to his word that he is “…crazy, but not stupid…” he is at training camp, but not participating. Until this situation is resolved it will be a challenge for the team and a distraction for his teammates. Carson Palmer is a top fantasy pick with the pairing of Johnson and TJ Houshmanzadeh, but both his and Houshmanzadeh’s value can diminish without their star WR.
Stay tuned…..
