I was wondering the same thing when I heard it on WEEI

When you look at his skill set, They are pretty much the same as Deon Branch. They are about the same size, run great routes, and have good hands. Personally I think Chad would be an upgrade over Branch. He's tougher over the middle and much less injury prone.
So this deal would make perfect sense if you were going to dump Branch. It doesn't if you are just going to pretty much duplicate him. If the perception is true and what the Pat need iis a guy who is going to "stretch the field and be a deep threat Chad isn't that guy
Dude, Chad Johnson is 6'1". He's a classic big outside-the-numbers wideout. And he definitely is a stretch-the-field guy. Deion Branch is 5'9".
Assuming it's true...how funny is it to recall 24 hours ago, when this board was full of posts saying "don't expect the Pats to make any splashes in FA," "you know BB won't sign anybody you've actually heard of..." etc. He's nothing if not unpredictable.
ESPN Radio Cincy is reporting this is done. Seems like it's wrapped up.

I second Emmitt Smith for runner up for marbles in his mouth, but he must have gone to a diction coach because he has gotten worlds better. His HOF speech is proof. I don't think Sharpe is salvageable.I agree Sharp sucks.
Ditka picks the Bears to win a game between the Dolphins and Bills.
I find Steve Young to be the best but that's just me.
Anyways Ocho would be a great pickup. Hope it happens. I think he'd be good for 70 catches, 1000 yards and 8-10 td's.
