Free agent Chad Johnson pleaded no contest on Monday in his battery case that is still being resolved. Johnson has participated in anger management and is asking to be put on administrative probation in order to put the case to rest. Johnson also reiterated his desire to return to the NFL this season. He has already expressed a desire to play for the Texans. Nobody is going to sign the 35-year-old.

Free agent WR Chad Johnson is hoping to make a comeback this season. Johnson told CSN Houston that he wants to play for the Texans, but conceded that he's in "no position to be picky." After being released by the Dolphins in training camp and missing all of 2012, it's unlikely that any team is willing to take on a shot on him. Johnson turned 35 this offseason and hasn't been productive since 2010.

Free agent WR Chad Johnson admitted on ESPN's First Take Wednesday that his August arrest for domestic battery, in addition to an obsession with self-promotion, cost him the end of his NFL career. "I messed up. I messed up," said Johnson. "Period. I lost everything. Football, my wife, the family I had, over something that didn't really mean anything." Johnson finalized his divorce from Evelyn Lozada in September. "I lost that edge when my focus went away from the game of football," Johnson also conceded. "I know that. I understand that." Johnson says he's now "humbled", and guaranteed that he's "going to play again." He turns 35 in a month.

Free agent WR Chad Johnson is not working out for the Eagles Tuesday. Johnson created a stir when he tweeted that he had a flight to Philadelphia Tuesday morning. As it turns out, his trip to the city of brotherly love has nothing to do with the football team. Johnson remains unlikely to play in the NFL this season.

Tuesday's episode of Hard Knocks revealed that Chad Johnson was struggling to pick up the Dolphins offense, just as he did last year in New England.

Free agent Chad Johnson has issued an apology for his domestic violence arrest over the weekend. The apology comes just hours after Johnson's wife of 41 days filed for divorce. "I would like to apologize to everyone for the recent events that have occurred," Johnson said. "I would like to wish Evelyn well and will never say anything bad about her because I truly love her to death. I will continue to be positive and train hard for another opportunity in the NFL ... I will stay positive and get through this tough period in my life."

Dolphins released WR Chad Johnson.

Chad Johnson was allegedly arrested on domestic violence charges Saturday night.

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero believes Chad Johnson is the "best wide receiver on the (Dolphins) right now." This can either be taken as a point in Johnson's favor, or one-sentence summation of the dire state of the Dolphins' receiver corps. Nevertheless, it was just as likely that the early reports were going to peg Johnson as done, so his odds of cracking the 53-man roster appear to be steadily on the rise. There's a strong chance he'll begin the year as a starter.

Chad Johnson opened Dolphins camp as a starting wideout. The first-team wideouts were Johnson, Davone Bess and Legedu Naanee. Brian Hartline, who has missed some time due to an appendectomy, should be among the starters shortly. Johnson, who is operating without guarantees in his contract, will have to earn his spot.
