CINCINNATI -- All the trade talk from Chad Johnson is wearing on Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis.
In his strongest comments yet about the disgruntled receiver, Lewis says Johnson should keep his word and sit out the season.
Since the end of last season, Johnson has been lobbying for a trade even though he agreed to a long-term deal with the Bengals two years ago.
He stopped talking to reporters in Cincinnati last season, but Johnson has done numerous national interviews saying he'd sit out the season if he's not traded. His coach today said Johnson should follow through on that threat.
Lewis also says linebacker David Pollack is leaning toward retirement after breaking a bone in his neck during the 2006 season.
