It might be time for the Cincinnati Bengals to completely clean house. Per ESPN Radio’s Max Kellerman via ProFootballTalk.com, Chad Johnson expressed dismay with the team’s decision to cut Chris Henry.

“Are you sure,” he apparently asked Kellerman. “Many, they can’t let him go. That dude is good. He’s very, very good. … We need him. Those are not easy shoes to fill, regardless of the trouble he has gotten into in the past.”

Johnson clearly does not get it. Henry’s five arrests and his other baggage necessitated this move – it probably should have been made two or three incidents ago when it became clear Henry thought himself above the law.

I have a hunch Johnson may be next. He’s been mugging for the cameras since the season ended, talking about wanting a change of scenery. And in reaction to comments made by coach Marvin Lewis about how people who once liked him now see him in a different light, Johnson told ESPN’s Brian Kenny “Affection? That’s the problem right there. The player is not gonna change. Chad has to do what’s right for Chad. … He thinks I’m worried about people liking me. Those days are over. I’m not worried about them anymore because I have to do what is right for me.”

Umm, from his radio interviews to his donning a Hall-of-Fame jacket during a touchdown celebration, when has it not been about what’s right for him? Johnson is a hypocrite.

Just about everything he has ever done has been tinged with “what makes Chad Johnson look good.” Maybe he and Henry can go be distractions together on some other team.

But it may be time for the Bengals, even if it causes them to take yet another step back, to move on without these clowns creating distraction after distraction.
