If Moses retires, these may be one-year options.

He will change his first name to Bethel.

81 is available.
 
Mods, you merged my thread of EXACTLY the same topic... so...
 
Re: If Ochocinco comes to NE?????

Why are you clogging up the board with another Chad Johnson thread?

Especially one as useless as this? Asking hypothetical questions about a hypothetical signing that hasn't even happened/been reported by a reputable source.

Wow, your name is quite accurate.
 
Re: If Ochocinco comes to NE?????

I'm italian....so his new name should be:

OSSO BUCCO......Gratzie!

i like 'ossobuco con piselli' !
 
Aaron was 81 in Florida will become 81 for PATS unless if it is taken?

RapSheet Ian R. Rapoport Well, @Ochocinco has put on a No. 85 jersey, a helmet and is practicing. Looks like the deal is done.

I justy saw him on NFL Network practicing wearing #85 and said WTF..

#1. He's practicing? Deal must be signed

#2. He must have paid off Hernandez...

He's not signed or practicing. He was just there hanging out and taking everything in. Which is great since it shows how excited he is to join the Pats.

I can't wait to hear what Hernandez got in return...I like the idea of a Aaron Hernandez rules tat. :rocker:

#1 could mean two things:

1.) He did not restructure yet, only agreed to after league year begins on Aug 4th;

2.) Union is back and league year has started becauese 50% + 1 players have ok'd union to recertify.

According to Curran he's practicing this afternoon.
 
Lets see if he changes his name
 
#85....gift from Hernandez......free of charge
 
According to Curran he's practicing this afternoon.

really?!? Thought that he couldn't officially "practice" until the 4th which means actually participating with on-field drills. He can hang out and watch though.
