The Facts:
Johnson said on ESPN First Take this morning that he had "a very frustrating year" in 2007, and he didn't sound enthusiastic about playing for the Bengals in 2008. Asked if he wants to play for the Bengals, Johnson said, "I want to continue my career where ever I have an opportunity at winning a playoff game and getting to a Super Bowl. That's where I want to be."When asked if he could do that with the Bengals, Johnson said, "I'm not sure. ... I'm undecided."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson
began to campaign for a move out of Cincinnati shortly after the season ended (a campaign
he continued during Super Bowl week). HC Marvin Lewis subsequently
made it clear (on
more than one occasion) that Johnson is going nowhere. ... Meanwhile, asked about
a highly-publicized incident in which he reportedly took a swing at Lewis during halftime of a playoff game, Johnson confirmed that there was an altercation between himself and Lewis, as well as receivers coach Hue Jackson, but he denied throwing a punch. "It was an incident that did happen. Of course, there were no punches thrown," Johnson said. Those interested can view a video of the interview
here.
