The Patriots made an unexpected splash trading for Randy Moss last April. Might Bengals receiver Chad Johnson be next? The thought was tantalizing to Johnson yesterday at Super Bowl XLII. "It would be fun; I would love to play there," he said. "But right now, I'm in Cincinnati. That's where I am." Johnson, one of the NFL's top pass catchers, doesn't seem happy about that. As part of his role as a pitchman for Degree, the personable and outspoken Johnson conducted several interviews at Super Bowl media headquarters yesterday, and it wasn't difficult to detect the frustration he's experiencing with the Bengals. He was passively campaigning for a trade. While Johnson has expressed interest in playing for other clubs, this is believed to be the first time he's openly conveyed his desire to land in New England.
