Bengals (again) not trading Ocho Cinco
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis says that disgruntled wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco won't get traded.
After the Bengals stood pat last off-season and turned down an deal for two first-round picks, there is no reason to not believe Lewis.
Ocho Cinco, who injured his shoulder last pre-season and was unhappy all season, had his worst year since his rookie campaign. He finished the season with 53 receptions and 540 yards.

"I don't know why people continue with the speculation of moving Chad," Lewis said. "Many times we've reiterated, I don't know if we're keeping count on this, Chad's not getting moved. ... I don't know if any team that goes through a draft doesn't draft a wideout. I'm sure there will be at least 32 receivers picked in this draft by 32 teams. Chances are we probably take a wideout at some point in the draft."The Bengals currently have Laveranues Coles, Chris Henry, Andre Caldwell, Jerome Simpson and Chad Ocho Cinco on the roster at wideout.
"You're going to carry a glut of those guys and if we can get a guy that could help us and give us some upside, I think that would be helpful," Lewis said. "It would not (impact The Ocho). I don't think we're going to pick a guy that's going to be better than Chad. I haven't seen that guy yet."
