I guess Chad didn’t watch any Basketball Wives, or he is an absolute idiot for marrying Evelyn.

I predict she’s going to get on the “it was an accident” bandwagon since no job = less gold to dig.

Production no longer outweighs distraction, just that simple.
Coach clearly said that it WASN’T just for the arrest, but as always, Florio knows better what’s in someone else’s mind than they do. He’s a mind-reader AND a genius AND an expert on all things, don’t you know…

Chad was arrested for domestic violence when he was in college. That is probably why he loses in the “he said/she said” battle.

That being said, I do believe that people should wait until all the facts are in and the investigation is done before judging the guy.

I used to respect the guy, he balanced performance with entertainment. Seems the last few years he forgot about the performance aspect. You run into the law, they might overlook it if you have some game. Chad, you have no game left. Time to start your illustrious fry slinging career.

Head knocks?? No Chad, Its called HARD Knocks. And anyone that could not see that this couple was volatile, just by the few scenes in the first episode, must not be very observant.

Another case of “Guilty until proven innocent”. Johnson said to the police that she head butted him, not the other way around. Who is lying here? Did he lie to the police and tell the truth to the coach?
Need to hear more from her. But, I think they should give both of them lie detector tests to come to a conclusion. This is not the Chad many know. I am amazed he would head butt his wife. Now her, on the other hand, I would believe capable of head butting someone. She’s low class and very mean when it comes to dealing with issues with people. Too bad Chad couldn’t see past the pretty exterior BEFORE he married her.

If true, as Chad said during his first stint on Hardknocks with the Bengals, his level of pissificity was just too high.

Chad ran that edge between likeability and arrogance. I think he is just a man scared of aging, slowing down, skills diminishing with an “act” backed up by departing talent.

No one likes domestic violence and I hope Chad can redirect his mental skills into a productive future that we can continue to enjoy.

We have enough “drones” in sports already.

Chad had a right to expect more from this organization. After all it is “Miami,” and doesn’t Miami make exceptions for the errors of those that play football there? Or, is it just for those who play at the “U”? Head butting may explain why he could never learn the Pat’s playbook. Will he now change his first name to “Butthead”?

Good job on the Dolphins part, standing by their words. Conviction or not, repeatedly getting in trouble is why they got rid of Brandon Marshall, I don’t blame them one bit. Most likely Johnson will be blackballed from being signed again this season, sucks for him. Maybe he’ll learn to walk away next time, only punks hit women. Figures too, I just started to actually like the guy, well…
He killed that one.

“…now we find out that he likes to beat his wife by head butting her in the head…

And you would headbutt her somewhere OTHER than her head? Moron.

Not a “single” one of us know who this guy is off the field. Just because he has not bee publicly exposed as a women beater or asshat does not mean this should “shock” any of us. Why are some of you so nieave when it comes to situations like this? I knew a pastor for 20 years that i would put my life on it that he was a honest to goodness preacher but later found out he was doing drugs and having affairs 20 years later.

Sure most of the time the truth does come out but to put a positive image of someone you dont really know is just silly. You will only know a person’s true colors when you are close to that person through the good and bad times. None of you know Chad this well…for all we know he’s another John Wayne Gacy that just hasnt been got red handed yet. My mom told me one thing that i keep close to my heart…never trust ANYONE not even yourself because we are all sinners one way or another and we will always fail at one point.. the important thing is how far do we let ourselves go? Constraint and think before action is key, thats what my mommy told me.

Someone send Chad some ‘Pepto-Bismol’ quick.

Carson Palmer is giving Dennis Allen the ‘heads-up’ on Chad right now…….

Chad will be a Raider before week one; its nailed-on; remember where you heard it first folks…….

I bet the fins won’t cut Tannehill if he gets locked up for anything let alone a BS charge like this u all seen Chads wife on her reality show so u know how aggressive she is an confrontational she is just say the truth that’s they was going to cut him anyway! ………cowards!!!! That’s why nobody wants to play for the fins anymore especially if your a blk player man f@@k the fins they need new management bad n fast they have no class what so ever!

Can we now dump the “he’s an ok guy, he’s just misunderstood” crap? He’s an idiot. Just took a minute longer to prove it than others. Next up, Mr. Owens?

32 teams int he NFL, with a minimum of 4 roster spots for receivers – that’s (at minimum) 128 wide receiver jobs.

Is Chad Johnson – even at this stage of his career – among the top 128 receivers in the world? Probably yes (and he would likely have been in Miami’s top 4). So will he play again in the NFL? Probably yes.

Next time Chad, when the checker asks if you want the receipt? The answer is ‘no’.

His arrest surprised the crap out of me. Despite all the fines he’s had for violating league conduct, he’s never had the reputation to cause trouble.

I have to wonder if he really was telling the truth in that his wife head-butted him. If not, then I’m really disappointed. It’s not like Chad to do something like that.

the thing is philibin knew he would probably get suspended..and decided someone who might not produce should not take up a roster spot. just give it to another promising player…smaart but chad is still the man on hard knocks

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as “due process” when it comes to high-stakes athletics. Not for the Saints, not for Penn State, and not now for Johnson…
In any event, the Dolphins would not have released Johnson if he could still play.

I think this is a positive move for the organization. As a Jets fan, I generally don’t praise Miami, but what they did is important and righteous.

A man should never put his hands on a woman under any circumstance. Hopefully this situation will show players that they are to be held accountable for their violent and dangerous behavior.

as a Bills fan i want to cringe when i hear a jets fan talk and laugh at the misery of Miami, unfortunately….. i agree with you 250% in this case and I am so glad Miami did this. Its time for the teams to take the league back from the knuckleheads. The question i have is this: Now that CJ is a has been, how long til she seeks out Cromartie?

Wow ….. I’m stunned that the Dolphins actually pulled the trigger on this.

That said, huge kudos to them for doing it.

It was the right thing to do. Johnson had to appreciate that they were his last shot, and the onus was on him to conduct himself the right way, on an off the field.

The Dolphins owe no apology to him, or any of their fans.
