One day after being arrested on domestic battery charges, veteran wide receiver Chad Johnson has been released by the Miami Dolphins, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The six-time Pro Bowl receiver was released on $2,500 bond Sunday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their home. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanor.
The confrontation came barely a month after Johnson married Evelyn Lozada, who is on the reality TV show "Basketball Wives."
Can't see another team taking a chance on him now. And even if they do, I can imagine a hefty suspension is coming along with him.

I would be shocked if he didn't end up on another team this season.
I want to say the Jets (merely because I assume Rex Ryan would be the last coach in the league to be scared of a big mouth personality), but there are probably a few teams more receiver-hungry than them.
Wait, there are there people who still believe Chad Ochocinco, oops, Johnson is enough of a talent and won't be a distraction to get signed by yet another team ever again?
Let's see... The Eagles let Brian Mitchell (quality kick returner, role-player, veteran, clubhouse personality, well-liked in the community) walk to a team in the NFC East, where he'll be making them regret it twice a year.
