Chad Johnson's agent is imploring the Bengals to trade the disgruntled wide receiver. Appearing on YouTube, the video-sharing Web site, Drew Rosenhaus said he's "obviously hoping" Johnson gets shipped out of Cincinnati. " Bengals, if you're listening to me, please trade Chad," Rosenhaus said. "It's obvious that the relationship is not working. It's not going to be effective going forward. From what I hear ... you have the potential of getting two first-round picks for Chad. Why not take the king's ransom and run with it?

I say let the mofo sit.

April 26, 2008  09:25 AM ET

I agree. Let him sit and stew and I hope no team even makes a phone call about him. Once the cameras are off him for a season he might just get over himself.

LEAVE CHAD JOHNSON ALONE

I am disappointed that the Redskins offered so much for Chad Johnson. They are apparently still trying to get Cincy to reconsider even as I type....

If more owners and GMs (in all sports) would take Cincy's approach, it would stop all of the ungrateful punks like Chad Johnson, who every year threaten not to play and HONOR a signed contract.

YOutube? SO these clowns are going after the court of public opinion to sway the Bangals head office? Good luck!

April 26, 2008  10:25 AM ET

Chad signed the contract.

So now honor the contract.

And stop making commercials, you stink in front of the camera.

Hate to say it Chad, but unless u tuck ur tale between ur legs and play for the Bengals this year...ur not going to touch the field next season!

Rosenhaus is such a dork. I can't believe any NFL player actually choose to work with him.

April 26, 2008  10:48 AM ET

Rosenhaus is the Jay Mohr character from Jerry McGuire

I agree completely with several comments - it's a shame Washington is willing to give so much for a player like Johnson. Also Rosenhaus causes many problems for players, it seems very unprofessional to go on to You tube to do your job. I hope they don't trade him and he ends up not playing, hopefully that will encourage other GM's to stand strong against some of these whiney players. I wonder what a Dick Butkus would have said to Johnson if they played on the same team.

Drew Rosenhaus made a second YouTube video with Soulja Boy:

"Crank Dat or Demand a Trade"

Drew should hire some people to kick his**** on You Tube to get his message across better.

April 26, 2008  12:43 PM ET

Too bad Rosenhaus didn't get the cover of Madden '09. You know, curse and all.

What a couple a goof balls. Chad Johnson is making a dork out of himself. He is great player and seems to be a good person; however he is bringing himself down with all of these shanagans. I am sure Rosenhaus (DORK) is telling him to act like this too. Johnson has an above average QB and some good surrounding talent. Lewis is an OK coach, it would seem things could be worse. I am not there though so I can't say for sure. This stain will stick with Johnson though, and Rosenhaus should take the blame. We all have problems at work from time to time, but we still have to go. Johnson should too. I think he owes that to the fans. The Bengals will stink this year like they usually do, because they have NO defense and the locker room must be in utter chaos with this going. Sucks to be a Bengals fan.

Todd Bell. Wilbur Marshall, 'nuff said.
