So last year Chad Ocho Cinco demanded a trade by appearing on every talk show under the sun and explicitly demanding a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals. This year Ocho Cinco is going about it in a different manner — he is ignoring the Bengals all together.
Ocho Cinco is refusing to return calls from the coaching staff and teammates, including Carson Palmer, in hopes to get his point across that he wants out of Cincinnati. Well, it's time for Mike Brown and the front office to finally grant Ocho Cinco his wish.
The market for a wide receiver in his 30s that lacks break away speed, is coming off an injury-plagued season, has questionable hands and is a cancer in the locker room is virtually non-existent. The teams that would take Ocho Cinco will only dwindle after the draft when all those teams address their receiving needs from the college ranks.
It's time for the Bengals to trade Ocho Cinco, if not before the draft, no later than draft day. The Oakland Raiders got only a 4th round pick from the Patriots when they traded Randy Moss and believe me, Chad is no Randy Moss. Cincinnati needs to cut their losses now, get a draft pick in return and get rid of the cancer that is Ocho Cinco.
A rumor floated around a couple weeks ago that the Raiders wanted Ocho Cinco and would give the Bengals running back MIchael Bush and a late draft pick. Cincinnati needs to jump on that deal now or see if the Eagles will listen to Donovan McNabb's wishes and get his buddy Chad to help the receiving corps.
Either way, get Chad out of Cincinnati now before his value drops to absolute nothing and he ruins another season with his foolish antics.
