Chad Johnson to Dallas, what are the odds?

Disgruntled Bengals WR Chad Johnson reportedly plans to show up for the mandatory minicamp on June 12. However, he's just going to report to the team and "not do anything" on the practice field according to a report from ProFootballTalk.com. Simply "reporting" avoids an offical breach of contract but creates a disruption unto itself. He'll blab to the media in the parking lot every day until the Bengals cave and ship him out to the highest bidder. It's a gamble because Ocho will forfeit a few game checks if this runs into September. But if/when he is traded, his new team will re-do his deal with a big pile of new guaranteed money, just like T.O. got in Dallas. Potential suitors for Ocho? We've got Washington at 3/2 odds, Dallas at 6/1, and Philadelphia at 8/1. Let's slip Miami in at 15/1 because Ocho lives there. Plus his cousin is Keyshawn Johnson, who's very close to Bill Parcells and could convince him to sign the 5-time Pro Bowler. The one team that should trade for him is Tennessee but they don't take chances like that. Put the Titans at 50/1.
