Chad Ochocinco likely to land with Patriots?



SI's Peter King predicts that Chad Ochocinco will wind up playing for the Patriots in 2011.

"At the end of the day, I think he's gonna be with the New England Patriots," King said on PFT Live. Adam Schefter made a similar suggestion in a recent ESPN.com mailbag. Ochocinco is expected to be released after the Bengals used the No. 4 overall pick on A.J. Green. He'll be an unrestricted free agent at that point, and could be another late-career value pickup for the Pats.

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora suggests the Raiders, Seahawks, Redskins, and Bears as potential landing spots for Chad Ochocinco this summer.
LaCanfora is connecting dots as opposed to reporting. Raiders coach Hue Jackson was Ocho's early-career position coach. The Seahawks gave serious consideration to Brandon Marshall and Terrell Owens last season and still need a true No. 1. The Redskins tried to deal for Ochocinco a few years ago. The Bears could use a bigger go-to receiver, but Ocho no longer fits that description.​

If Ochocinco signs with the New England Patriots, i'll write "I LOVE KAM" in my sig for a week

He won't be in NE.

Oh gosh. I would hate that.

I'd kill myself to see him in a Pats uni, first Moss now him?

NE has shown a willingness to take on scratch and dent players, but I'm not sure that he'd fit what they are doing. They already have a pair of younger development-type WRs, a premier slot WR, a vet in Branch, a move TE in Hernandez and a typical TE in Gronk. A signing would also be the end of Chad Johnson's shenanigans as Belichick would not tolerate his bullchit.

Yeah, I don't see him going to New England, either.

It'd be interesting to see how he plays with Brady vs Palmer.
