Though everything is subject to change when it comes to Bengals receiver Chad Johnson, ProFootballTalk.com is reporting that Johnson’s current plan is to avoid breaching his contract (and owing daily fines and possibly a chunk of previously-paid bonus money) by reporting for a mandatory minicamp that opens on June 12.

The website suggests that Johnson intends to report but to “not do anything.”  Such an approach is similar to the strategy employed by receiver Terrell Owens three years ago in Philly, who reported for training camp with the goal of being such a pain in the butt that the team would either trade him or cut him.

Johnson's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has been down this road in the past with T.O., but it would be hard to imagine Johnson going to that extreme. Let's not forget that Owens lost four game checks from that bonehead move and it remains to be seen if Johnson is willing to do that. Especially when there has been many reports that Chad is broke and that is financial concerns are what prompted much of the trade demands to begin.

The Cincinnati Enquirer recently reported that he owes more than $13,000 in taxes on his Walnut Hills home. According to tax records at the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office, Johnson owes a total of $13,063.35. Of that, $12,780.30 is delinquent.

It's interesting that Johnson hasn't said a word publicly since before the draft and there are some websites that are speculating that he could be hoping the Bengals "forgot" his trade demands and how he threw the organization under the bus.
