Chad Johnson: ‘Even As A Bengal Player, I Can Pay My Respects’ To Mike Tomlin

The Pittsburgh Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin agreed to a three-year contract extension on Monday. There have been plenty of people who have supported to extension and plenty of people who see it as keeping the Steelers mired in playoff futility.

However, one former opponent of Tomlin and the Steelers is a fan of the move.

“I like Tomlin,” Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson said on Monday night’s episode of Nightcap. “I like what he’s done with the organization over a period of time. Obviously, there’ll be some years. There’ll be some down years, obviously, when there are situations when you don’t have a quarterback in place or in play to be able to be successful…The timing is perfect to extend Mike Tomlin, not for the work that he’s already done but the work that he’s going to continue to do for that franchise.
