...and it's so annoying. Because isn't it untrue?

Ok, so I was under the impression the 6 million dollar base was from Cincy. I could have sworn that I read about how the Pats made him restructure; thus making it way, way lower. In my head, I remembered it as being, like, two-million and change against the cap....

I just Google'd it. I believe my memory served me well. Across the board it seems like all the articles point to Ocho having a 1 million dollar base; that was set to increase in '12 and '13. Now it gets a little different.... Some point to a 4.5 mil signing bonus being upfront, thus being 5.5 total for this year. Other articles claim the bonus is only 1.5 a year over the 3 years - thus 2.5 mil for '11. So am I misunderstanding? Or is it simply a situation where the signing bonus money itself is indeed upfront (and now in Ocho's pocket); but it only counts against the cap at 1.5 mil per year?

It makes no difference because, by all accounts, he tried his best it just didn't work out. If he had dogged it that would be different. It appears to have been a good faith effort by both sides with an unfortunate outcome.

Yeah. If they thought Ocho wasn't trying they would have bought him a seat next to Haynesworth on the bus out of town.

On Chad Ochocinco’s deal: The ex-Bengals WR used to have a 1-year deal worth $6 million. Now, he has an extension that runs through 2013, a $1 million salary this year and a signing bonus of $4.75 million.
He's been paid $5.75MM this year.

What ever he made over a practice squad player was too much.

I was under the impression he was away, and it hadn't been updated in some time.
