The Bengals have turned down two potential first round picks from the Washington Redskins in exchange for disgruntled wide receiver Chad Johnson, according to ESPN.com.

Bengals' coach Marvin Lewis, who initially denied the team had received offers for Johnson during a Tuesday news conference, confirmed to ESPN that Cincinnati turned down Washington's offer of two picks.

"Once I actually read what was reported, I have to be truthful and say that the story is accurate," Lewis told ESPN. "Unfortunately, I didn't read it until after our press conference."

The Redskins offered its first-round pick, No. 21 overall, and a conditional third-rounder in 2009 that could escalate to a first rounder if Johnson and the Redskins hit certain performance levels, the sources said.

It is also believed that both the Cowboys and the Eagles also appear interested.

A trade of Johnson would force the Bengals to take an $8 million cap hit on their 2008 salary cap, but that could be split over two years if the team were deal him after June 1.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports what we've been hearing for weeks - the Cincinnati Bengals will not trade receiver Chad Johnson.

"No matter the offer," Schefter says.  "No matter the circumstances.  No deal."

It appears as if the Bengals are going to stand pat on this one, which means no draft day dealing for the Bengals, at least not any that involves them sending Chad Johnson elsewhere.

As an interesting side note to any of the reported teams that are in the market for Johnson, is that the Bengals are set to face each of them during the upcoming season.  It would be interesting to imagine Ocho Cinco returning to the Jungle as a member of the Redksins on December 14th.
