Bengals shopping Rudi?

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, the Bengals are actively shopping previous star running back Rudi Johnson. After 6 years in the NFL, Rudi struggled with injuries and performance last year, regularly being shown up by backup Kenny Watson.

Mort takes the line that the Bengals are seeking a receiver as an emergency backup to the Chad Johnson shoulder situation, but we can't see the Bengals obtaining a player of the standard of Chad or TJ in a player for player trade. Throw in a top 3 round draft pick, and you may get someone to bite, although with the Bengals having already announced Chris Perry as their starting RB, they've automatically reduced Johnson's value on the open market.
