Rumor: Chad Johnson to the Raiders for Michael Bush and 2nd Round Pick

[the_future23]

A website posted the trade as a done deal but it is not a reliable source at all. So take it for what it is worth.

If true, Bengals got a good deal.

Ocho Cinco for a second is a decent deal. Michael Bush is meh to me, but Chad could help add some energy into that franchise and give JaMarcus Russell the reliable #1 target he needs to continue his progress. Then again, Chad could succumb to the losing culture there and end up pulling a Randy Moss. They've had some bad luck with #1 receivers - Moss, Porter, Walker.

Chad's torn labrum has made some people forget that Chad Johnson is still a Top 10 receiver.

good deal for each team.

If this in fact does happen then the Bengals are really hurting at WR as T.J. Houshmandzadeh signed with the Seahawks. Means they should use their #6 pick on either Crabtree or Macklin.

Heh. Moss went hyper-Moss in Oak. If Johnson lost it in Cinci he should have been more careful for what he wished for.

And Bush has got some potential. He's got soft hands as a receiver and is sorta fast for a bruiser.

That is the author. Also take note that it is in the humor section of the site. And it also says "So says a crackpot", that is the final indicator. It is utterly false.

And for those who don't know, Bleacher Report is nothing more than a blog site. I can log on and say Tom Brady was traded to the Cardinals for Alan Branch and NE's 1st round pick.

I'd give them Boldin for Michael Bush, the 2nd and a 3rd. Do you think they would do that deal?

That is a crap deal for us. Michael Bush is average and not really a bruiser back.

It's a high 2nd and 3rd. We can't expect a whole lot more if it's done.

Michael Bush's career ended in college when his leg snapped and he had a metal rod inserted. I feel for him. If he was a FA, I'd bring him in for a look at the NFL minimum.

Bush looked impressive last season when he played. He didn't seem to be limited by that 3 year old leg injury at all.

Bush made strides last year. I know an avid Raider fan at work and he likes Bush more than McFadden right now. He said Bush for Chad is a no go. He likes Boldin much better. But thinks that Crabtree will wind up being their pick.

Fair enough, not a RB who seeks contact to punish, but a RB who can work inside (although for a bigger back he's best outside) and press forward after contact.

Bush did look to have the ability to hit the homerun as well. He looked very fast for a big man.

I'd definately listen to an offer that included M. Bush, but I don't see a circumstance in which Al Davis would be interested in Quan and give up the picks it'd require to pry him out of our hands.

Give me Bush, their 2nd and 3rd this year and next years 2nd and I will pick up the phone

If anyone would, it could easily be Al.
