Bengals dealing RB Johnson?
8/26/2008 9:01:35 AM MST
ESPN reported Monday night that the Bengals are shopping Rudi Johnson in trade talks to other NFL teams in pursuit of a "legitimate" wide receiver. Reached at his home Monday night, Johnson said, "I haven't heard anything."
The Bengals don't comment on speculated player moves, public relations director Jack Brennan said. Fifth-year tailback Chris Perry and backup Kenny Watson have gotten most of the preseason carries with Johnson injured. Four wide receivers - Chad Johnson, Houshmandzadeh, Marcus Maxwell and Andre Caldwell - have been injured; Maxwell is out for the season with a thigh injury. Source: cincinnati.com

Chargers Merriman could miss season?
8/22/2008 9:36:37 AM MST
Shawne Merriman was in New York yesterday to see a specialist and was pondering seeing another doctor today, as he and his advisers attempt to gather enough information to decide when and if he will play this season.
"It's finding out what do I need to fix, what I need to do," Merriman said by phone. "If it's left up to me, I want to play football. I can't stand sitting out." Merriman's options for fixing what he said was a torn posterior cruciate ligament (among other issues) in his left knee range from doing nothing to having a surgery that would delay the start of his season to undergoing reconstructive surgery that would keep him out all season.

Cards to Boldin: No trade
8/19/2008 9:00:56 AM MST
The agent for Anquan Boldin has renewed a request that the Cardinals trade the unhappy receiver. And the Cardinals renewed their answer: No. Drew Rosenhaus made the first request in the spring, although Boldin denied asking for a trade.
Team officials, however, confirmed that request, and sources close to the situation said Rosenhaus recently asked them again to trade Boldin or allow Rosenhaus to shop for a deal. The Cardinals' stance remains unchanged, according to a team spokesman. They have no intention of trading Boldin and are hopeful of signing him to a contract extension. Source: azcentral.com
