Its official: Chad Ochocinco dealt to Pats!

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

I wonder if Chad Pays Hernandez to give up #85???

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

Given the alternatives (clearly declining Stroud, G. Warren, Brace), why is giving up a 5th two years down the road too much of a risk?

I would take G Warren back in a heartbeat, this should be a big year for Brace, he started to come on last year before he got hurt.

Just not sure if he will show up and produce my friend. That's all. He's known for not showing up.

Chad Ochocinco - WR - Patriots

Patriots acquired Chad Ochocinco from the Bengals for late-round picks in 2012 and 2013.
Ochocinco, who was due $6 million, has agreed to a new a three-year contract. The Patriots have yet to make waves in free agency, but they've bought dirt cheap on a pair of impact veterans who will be revitalized after escaping football purgatory. Ochocinco and coach Bill Belichick have long formed a mutual admiration society, so this deal is no surprise. While Ocho is no longer a true downfield threat, he's still one of the best route runners in the league while adding much-needed size. The trade is great news for his fantasy value, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he finished 2011 as Tom Brady's most productive receiver.

So then we'll move on with barely any skin off our backs. Look, I'm not going to be buying the dude's jersey but there really is no downside here.

A younger version of today's Moss if you ask me

Ocho has never been a big playmaker in big games...Pittsburgh has almost always had his number and those games were always big ones....and nothing in the playoffs in his career to show for anything....much like Moss.

We can hope for better here....I just am very sceptical...Hopeful but sceptical

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

Belichick needs to tell this Prima Donna to CAN it with the Twitter crap.

Knowing that Ocho is a Twitterholic it would be impossible,He would rather retire.

In fact BB should ban all these players from Twitter until February.

Mr. Hollywood Comedian needs to change his ways and get down to some serious play at WR.

I don't think BB will make Chad delete his Twitter account. He may have restrictions but won't be banned. We've Rex Ryan & his big mouth players. I think Chad brings a swagger to this team that has been missing since Harrison retired. I do think Chad will tone down a bit. He won't be a cancer.

A bet here that Chad Johnson's Patriots jersey will be the biggest seller this year,possibly of all teams....or Ochocinco if he sticks to that crap.

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

I'm not a big fan of this deal. While I like the work effort, he's no longer a deep threat and that's what we all agree we need. I'm hoping that I'm proven wrong.

Who was the deep threat from 2001-2004? The need for a deep burner is overstated. We just need a guy who can play outside, on the line of scrimmage if necessary. Price might be that guy, but we know that Ocho can be.

If the sum of his contributions is keeping Revis occupied and away from Welker and Branch, then that alone is worth it.

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

So who would be the odd man out? Tate, Price, or Branch? None of them?

He doesn’t need to be a play maker, he just needs to pick up some first downs here and there, that’s the beauty of the Pats sytem!

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

Chad Johnson is a pro's pro between the lines and at practice...there is no harder worker. A very easy decision to make for BB.For the haters, check out Chad's production on third and long after the 2 minute warning...he's friggin' money.

Very excited. Been waiting for this for 3-years!

Re: Its official Ocho dealt to Pats! 3 Year deal

I'm psyched about this.
Now, if we somehow got a top outside linebacker, I think we have potential to be an awesome team.

This is the best news I've heard all day!
