Chad Johnson in Las Vegas? …I can dig it.
Like most people in the NFL, legendary wide receiver Chad Johnson is enjoying the festivities of Super Bowl III in Las Vegas, but there's no chance he'll be staying in Sin City full-time. It seems like there is.
“Ochocinco” said on Instagram Wednesday that he “got the job” with the Las Vegas Raiders, and even more interestingly, current head coach Antonio Pierce came on board to support Johnson's claims.
“Yes, I got the job with the Raiders,” Johnson initially said on Instagram Live. Sports Illustrated Fan Nation. “Not just as a staff member, but as a member of the organization. I don't know what exactly that is, but I'm going to be part of the team, and that's great.” (Related: 'I want to break the bank': Justin Jefferson wants to get paid, but doesn't care about his team)
Johnson then argued. Photos of both him and Pierce –He is “officially a member of the Raiders' coaching staff.”Then he went to X tell a joke About a friend who didn't believe me when I said I was “recruited” and posted a screenshot of a text exchange showing the claim that I was recruited to Las Vegas.
That's when Pierce showed up, apparently confirming that Johnson would be joining the Raiders.
“Inheriting the NFL with 85 former players… coaching 17,” Pierce wrote, hinting that Johnson is working with the Raiders' wide receivers. Davante Adams.

We might see Chad Johnson wearing black and silver next season, which I think would be pretty cool.
