| 12th January, 2008 - 11:32 am |  Dayton Daily News - Chad Johnson stormed the national stage Friday in an attempt to talk his way out of town and off the Cincinnati Bengals' roster.
Live from Harrah's resort in Atlantic City, the star wide receiver played the role of victim during an appearance on ESPN's "Mike & Mike in the Morning" radio show.
"If I'm a cancer," Johnson said, "then as a team, we need chemo, and the problem needs to get dealt with."
Johnson, who signed a $35.5 million extension in April 2006 and is under contract with the Bengals through 2011, didn't demand a trade. But he wouldn't say he'd be returning to Cincinnati for the 2008 season.
"I'm not sure what's going to happen," Johnson told hosts Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg. "It's been a very rough year. I've been labeled selfish, the reason we're losing, and that I'm a cancer for our team."
"All I do is go out and have fun. I don't get in trouble off the field. I do everything the right way. I might play the game out of the norm a little bit, but to do me the way I was done, with not too many people really having my back within (the Bengals' organization), it was hurtful." [READ] |
