Cincinnati news enquirer
Here we go again.
The Chad Johnson pot has been stirred again, this time, apparently innocently, by his quarterback, Carson Palmer.
Palmer this morning told reporters in the Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium locker room that he had spoken via phone with the disgruntled wide receiver, who assured Palmer that “he’ll be there when he has to,” Palmer said.
"I want to make this very clear,'' Johnson told Clayton in a story now posted on the ESPN Web site. “I don't know where he got that. I made no assertion to Carson that I would do that. Nothing has changed from what I've been saying for three months that I don't want to play for the Bengals. … I want to be traded before the draft, and if that doesn't happen, I want to be traded as soon as possible. I don't intend on reporting to anything.”
