Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Elfin went on to explain that Bengals owner Mike Brown is notoriously cheap and he won't stomach the $8.03 million salary cap hit that trading or cutting Johnson would entail. After giving Johnson a $35 million extension less than two years ago and with capable backup Chris Henry on hand if Johnson holds out, Elfin reports teh the Bengals are planning to play "hardball."
