Too bad he wasn’t forced to change his uniform #. I would have loved to see him have to change his name to Ochoquatro or something like that.

Hernandez gave him 85.

$66,666.67 per catch. Now that is value.

Didnt have much of a choice after the season he just had. He knows that if he wants to win a ring his best chance is with the Pats since not too many other contending teams would be willing to offer him a contract.

Let’s hope Chad has some smart people putting money away before he spends it all!!!! It’s sad to see a once productive WR sitting on the pine. study thr playbook this year, maube change your name back to Johnson because he was elite, ocho stinks.

when its all said and done, if the pats do win the superbowl he still gets a ring. maybe thats all he is after, even if he is riding the pine all year

As a Bronco fan, I just want to say to any doubters, I always try to be hones and objective, an BB is one of the best coaches not only now, but of all time, and 25 yrs from now it will be written on the books..just my opinion of course. Having said that..go Broncos!

So many fans don’t actually understand football. Must be to much fantasy fans out there to grasp the actuall concept of team building.go pats(jets suck)

I’m actually really proud of Chad for doing this. Considering he is 34 years old, to take a cut from 3 mil to 1 mil, says alot to me. The Patriots are definitely a top team and could contend to reach the SuperBowl again this year, he wants to play for a winning team.

One other factor is the signing of the new TE Daniel Fells. Aaron Hernandez could be playing more WR and if thats the case, the chances of Ocho getting cut increases. Plus I doubt he will be out Deion and Stallworth knows the system from 2007. Seriously doubt he makes the team but they are giving him a shot on the Pats terms.

“At this rate, he and T.O. Will be playing for the Wranglers this year.”

You said “log-jam”, LOL. Don’t be fatuous.

Chad’s done. Here’s a guy who built his career early on go routes and tossing the play book in the trash can. At this rate, he and T.O. Will be playing for the Wranglers this year.

Shoot, I’d take $100,000 to play as much as he did. And yes, I believe I could do just as good if not better than he did.

Going to be interesting to see what happens with all those receivers. Ocho won’t be the only one to get shafted. There’s not enough room for Stallworth, Branch, Gonzalez(he will eliminate himself with another injury I’m sure), Lloyd, and Welker… especially when you know the Patriots will want to keep their two tight-end set on the field most of the time.

The only way he makes the roster is if Gonzalez or Stallworth are bigger bums than him. The three of them together are barely worth one serviceable receiver.

Yeah the coach of your team is such a genius that you didn’t make the playoffs, have the most cancerous dysfunctional locker room in the league, and the Jets have become a laughingstock that Peyton Manning wouldn’t even consider playing for.

Meanwhile the Pats may not have won the Super Bowl this time but they got there, and only 2 teams a year can say that. The Pats have made it 5 times in 10 years, the Jets have made it how many times in that time period ? Zero right ?

No coach makes 100% right decisions and Belichick takes risks that sometime don’t work out. So what, he’s the best coach in the league.

Chad Johnson accounted for 5% of the Patriots’ passing yardage and he was active for every game. He didn’t contribute on special teams. He got paid $176,000 each week of the regular season. He showed absolutely no improvement from Day 1 through the Super Bowl. These are the facts, and they are undisputed. He is the ultimate anti-Patriot.

By: lolatvick

lolatvick — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 18:32:08 +0000

The pay cut will make him tradable, or signable should he hit the wavier wire. Pats will still pick up a reciever or 2 with some late round picks, so there’ll be a bigger log-jam in there. Chad and Branch (not bad making the catch, but no yac at all or contact even) are both eligible for younger replacements with more possible upside.

By: oruacat2

oruacat2 — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 18:32:06 +0000

If you get the Chad Johnson with the fantastic work ethic, you’ll get a much-improved WR at at bargain-basement price.

If you get the Ocho Cinco who is more concerned with his brand-name, reality TV shows, Twitter-feed, etc, you’ll get nothing but a distraction for you efforts.

In fairness, recent history suggests that he will at best have to be A-Gonz’s understudy for a few plays, until Gonzo hurts himself again. I find it hard to believe how having a guy who has effectively missed two consecutive seasons due to injury really counts as “shoring up” the receiving corps. But, hey, the price must have been right.

The streaky Brandon Lloyd, the injury-prone Gonzo, the no-deep-threat Deion Branch and Ocho – should make for an interesting training camp.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

“Bellick”….who’s “Bellick”?? Is that a cross between Bill Belichik and Brian Billick?? Careful who you call a genius.

Also….’member when the Jets said they were gonna go to the Super Bowl for three years and then never did, but the Pats did? Then ‘member when they signed Mark Sanchez to a multi-year deal even though he’s terrible and at the same time they brought in a QB who can’t throw in Tim Tebow?

‘Member that?

Is this guaranteed or can they cut him coming out of training camp and not pay?

Donald Driver may find himself in the same position in Green Bay.
