The Chad Johnson saga continued in Cincinnati this week, but I think it’s more hype from the media than anything else right now. Chad completed a three-day mandatory minicamp with the Bengals today and after limiting himself to a few drills during workouts on Thursday and Friday (because of a bum ankle), he looked fine catching passes from QB Carson Palmer today. Well, fine in the sense that his ankle seemed ok. Offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski wasn’t impressed:

“He’s rusty. I told him he looked rusty. Nobody likes to hear that. He’s going against guys who have been out here for 14, 16 (voluntary) practices, you know. You’re going to look that way.”

Coach Bratkowski did all the talking because Chad said nothing more that “Vote for Obama” to the media after practice. He’s unhappy with the Bengals and wants to be traded, but it isn’t going to happen. The next chapter for Chad and the Bengals is the start of training camp in late July. And it’s anyone’s guess what kind of antics he’ll bring to the table then.
