Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown made known to agent Drew Rosenhaus that he was relenting on a possible trade for wide receiver Chad Johnson. Brown finally lost all patience with Johnson and his antics and would like to be rid of a headache.

That was all Rosenhaus needed to approach Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder about trading for Johnson. Rosenhaus and Johnson met Snyder in a ****tail bar at the NFL owner’s meeting in Palm Beach, Fla. But, Snyder deferred to new executive vice president Vinny Cerrato who now makes all personnel calls for the team.

According to sources who wish to remain anonymous because they are not authorized to speak for the teams, Cerrato balked at Johnson’s price tag but relented with Rosenhaus’ offer to structure a back end loaded deal that would protect the Redskins’ salary cap position in 2008 and ‘09, but could guarantee Johnson over $10 million per year starting in 2010 when the salary cap will go away with the voided Collective Bargaining Agreement.
