In an article by Chick Ludwig in the Dayton Daily News, he suggests settling all family business.

Chad Johnson? Traded to the Eagles for Lito Decorian Sheppard and a second-round draft pick.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh? He will play out the final year of his contract in 2008 and walk in free agency.

Stacy Andrews, after patiently nursing him along as a project and trying for two years to get him signed out into the future, his continued refusal means he walks too.

Knowing David Pollack's love for football, we do not feel it is our duty or obligation to deny him that opportunity. But it won't happen with us. It shall happen with another team.

Now breathe in the fresh air flowing through the locker room.

Sound good? Who does Carson throw to now, Chris Henry and Ben Utecht? Who plays tackle when Willie and Levi go down again? To me it sounds good provided the Bengals were stacked with talent behind these guys. Or if they didn't have glaring weaknesses on the defensive line or linebacker position that need draft help today. It would feel good to have a team full of pro-Cincinnati guys, but it also would feel good to win.

Then again, we aren't winning much now.
