It may just be me.

But if I were a player expected to be a number one receiver on an NFL team, had the cocky-swagger of Chad Johnson AND only caught 53 balls for 540 yards and four touchdowns—I'd be in camp.

Whether that be boot, voluntary, mandatory, fat or Jesus camp, you can bet your ass I'd be there doing everything I could to get back to where I once was.

According to ESPN, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer confirmed that Johnson was a no-show at the start of today's offseason program. While many don't see this as a huge issue, I have to continue to wonder when enough is enough.

"I'm not worried about him; I'm worried about the guys we have here," Palmer said at a news conference Monday. "The guys that want to be here and want to work now are the guys who are in the locker room right now and are here today."

You can obviously tell that Johnson's decision is starting takes its toll on the Bengals QB. You have to wonder how much more the Bengals are willing to put up with when it comes to Chad, especially now that they signed Lavernaues Coles.

Honestly, I don't see Chad Johnson in Cincinnati after April 26th.
