Chad Ochocinco Johnson dropped from Miami Dolphins after domestic violence arrest

Chad Ochocino Johnson has officially been dropped from the Miami Dolphins due to his recent arrest for assaulting his wife Evelyn Lozada

Though some sports insiders feel this is a bit unfair to Chad considering he has never been arrested in his 12 year NFL career... I feel, this sends a STRONG message to other players that character matters and bad behavior is not acceptable.

ESPN reports... The decision was a swift one. Johnson left jail Sunday morning and the Dolphins had had enough of this distraction by Sunday evening. Guilt or innocence has not been determined -- but it was clear the Dolphins were not willing to put up with the distraction that would have come with keeping Johnson around the next several weeks. Johnson is a 34-year-old receiver playing on a one-year contract. He already had little room for error.

By cutting Johnson, Miami’s new regime -- led by rookie head coach Joe Philbin -- sends a stern message that character matters. The Dolphins put up with Marshall's issues for years before trading him to the Chicago Bears this offseason. Johnson, who had his first legal run-in at the NFL level, was cut after one transgression.
