Houshmandzadeh told ESPN he talked with both Johnson and Carson Palmer on Wednesday after Johnson demanded a trade from Cincinnati. Houshmandzadeh said Johnson reiterated to him: "I'm not playing. ..." Houshmandzadeh added: "I think eventually he'll show up, but then you have to worry about how much of a distraction he'll be." Houshmandzadeh also told ESPN that Johnson spent most of the past few months not returning Palmer's phone calls -- but that Palmer and Johnson have talked a few times recently.
