What single factor in going to the Patriots do you think Chad Ochocinco is happiest about?

Finally getting to play for a legit SB contender? No.

Having a QB who isn’t washed up? Nope, that ain’t it.

Finally getting out of a uniform that looks like it was designed by the cast of “Glee”? Bingo!

It’s already being reported in Cincy that he was traded for draft pics

As a Cincinnati native, and a lifelong Bengals fan (God help me), I think it’s a good idea for us to get rid of Ocho now, while we can still get something for him.

The last thing a rookie QB needs is a loud-mouth, ball hungry WR. Our young WR’s are hungry and want to prove that they are ready for the NFL. THESE are the type of guys I want on my team.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved Chad since we drafted him in 2001. He’s been a star, an all-pro, and set many franchise receiving records while he’s been here. At this point, he deserves to have a chance at winning a Super Bowl. That chance aint going to happen here.

Good luck, #85.

Anyone who doesn’t understand the mutual respect between BB and Chad has never seen a Pats- bengals game up close. BB is always chatting with 85 before and during the game. Their relationship has even been documented before the last game on Sound FX.

Love him or hate him, he has always been one of the top receivers in the game and to be on the receiving end from Brady this season could be something.

Pats are grabbing playmakers. Haynesworth is capable of taking over a game on D ( see Tenn) if motivated. I’ll bet my house on Bill Belichick in this case.

Please NO, take a gamble on some lanky speedster FA not this has-been…

The again watching him explain why, in his mind, he gets cut midway through the season will be entertaining.

number 85 is taken in New England. if Aaron Hernandez won’t give it up (should Chad actually end up in NE), and Ochocinco ends up with say, number 81, is another name change coming?

=================================
He actualy wanted to change his name back…but it would have cost too much to bouy out all the ochocinco jerseys. If he changes teams…then he can change his name again with no ramifications.

What is the Pats record against the Jets since Sanchez has been the starter?

Who cares? Go to Mexico or change your name. Mike Brown is too stupid to trade him anyway.

Unless he comes for free, I’m not crazy about this. TO (who has his own baggage) was the much better receiver on Cinci last year, which should be a warning sign.

Its not like Ochocinco has ever had a decent game against Revis anyway.

Haynesworth and Ocho could destroy the team first chemistry with the Sony Squad.

Funny how fans of a player’s new team automatically think all the BS baggage they carry will be left at the door. Enjoy the drama in NE. Chad will be movin on again next year…

Why can’t this guy just go away?

I wish this self-aggrandizing loudmouth would just go away. Its pretty much certain that the team signing him won’t be winning a Super Bowl while he is there.

think the pats will sign a name. who would be better in NE, Braylon or 85?

I don’t like this at all. Ocho is a me-me guy. While Billy has all Pats drink the koolaid, it will take a lot more for Chad the mouth to conform to being a team player and not obsessed with himself. I don’t see the fit at all. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen though. Just don’t see the fit.
Getting beyond that, I don’t even see how he could help this team. He is regressing as a wideout. The Pats would be better off signing Randy Moss who at least knows the system, but that wouldn’t be my first choice either.
