Chad Ochocinco

Wide receiver Chad Ochocinco has been dealt to the Patriots, according to multiple media reports. In 10 seasons in the NFL — all of them with Cincinnati — the 33-year-old out of Oregon State has 751 catches for 10,783 yards and 66 touchdowns. A six-time Pro Bowler, Ochocinco best season was 2005, when he had 97 receptions for 1,432 yards and nine TDs. According to ESPN, Ochocinco has accepted a restructured three-year contract from the Patriots.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Cincinnati will receive two late draft picks from New England in return for Ochocinco — a pick in 2012 and one in 2013.

    How do you get 2009 as his best season? 2003 to 2007 he had 90, 95, 97, 87 and 93 rec respectively with a total of 43 TDs. So how is 72 rec/9 TDs his best season??

    ochocinco last 2 games over the course of 2 seasons against the nyj 6 catches 69yds. playoff game: 2 catches 28 yds. Darrelle Revis owns this guy. OWNS him.

    It is a upgrade over what the pats have on there roster, he is not the chad Johnson of old but he can still play. What I like about Chad is he will fight off the jam at the line if scrimmage & he will go over the middle to catch the ball unlike Randy Moss. Solid pickup for the Pats.

    Given a lot of the talk today it sounds like they will attempt to bring Johnny Mac back for next season.
