This is one Panther fan's thoughts. What do you think? Good idea or no??

Let me just state up front that this is not an actual trade rumor. In fact, it might be nothing more than the delusional ramblings of a fan whose team has nothing but the silly season in front of it. Still, this idea is stuck in my head, and I must let it out.

You may have heard the reports that Chad Johnson wants out of Cincinnati. He was the first to get blamed for the Bengals' woes this season, and the team may decide T.J. Houshmandzadeh is a better investment. Meanwhile, recently canned Bengals defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan walked away saying the Bengals need to spend some more money on defense.

Meanwhile, rumors in Charlotte have the Carolina Panthers putting outspoken defensive tackle Kris Jenkins back on the trading block again, and guess what? They're still looking for a complement to Steve Smith at receiver, and former contenders Drew Carter and Keary Colbert are both free agents.

So here's your trade idea: Chad Johnson for Kris Jenkins. Straight up.

that would be awesome. You would have the 2 best receiver on your team (except moss). Al you would need is a decent QB

I think it would be awesome too.
Jake Dellhomme is still considered their starting qb. I'm not sure if having another good receiver would help or if he's about done.

Jake Delhomme is a Good QB. In the games he actually played, Jake had a rating above 100, 8 TD's, and 1 interception. The Panthers were 2-1.

But to answer the thread's question, as a Panthers fan, I would NOT want Chad Johnson along side Steve Smith. It's too good to be true. Chad would want the ball, Steve Smith too, it wouldn't work. Chad has too big an ego, and #89 has already made his mark and is The man in Charlotte.

I agree. You can't have two #1 receivers on a team and expect it to work. Someone's got to be willing to play the supporting role.

I see Steve Smith more willing to bend and compromise than Johnson.
If Johnson could catch balls with his mouth, he'd really be awesome.
But, yes, Steve is the guy there and looks like he will be for some time yet.

Awful idea, there is no they will be able to share the ball between those two.

[Stoney]

Fantastic idea it would be a fit for the hole Moose left when he went to Chicago.

[azrael492]

I think it would be a good idea. You can never have too much talent on a team. Johnson is used to playing number 2. He hasn't been the first option on his team in 2 seasons now.

So is Chad a step closer to Carolina?

How will they afford him? They are suppose to be pretty restricted in what they can do because of their cap situation.

If he wants Johnson, Snyder will find a way. Heck, he has so far, hasn't he? Salary cap or no, he's passing out millions of dollars each and every offseason.

But Chad doesn't want to be on a losing squad and he wants to be in the spotlight. He can do that with several teams but I think Carolina has the room to sign him.
