Ocho Cinco could be released.

[Rickathy113]

Go get him FO, we need some excitement in Carolina after the last couple of years!

[ammofan]

We could go from the worst offense in the NFL to a top 10 offense with 85 here...

Cam, DWill, JStew, Goodson, Smitty, Shockey, OchoCinco... whew....

And Gettis/LaFell can contribute to.

And what if Armanti turns into a nice player? Imagine him in the slot with Cam in the shotgun surrounded by D-Will/Shockey/Smitty/Ocho? The opposing d wouldn't know what we were doing since our QB can run/throw to 1 of 2 Pro bowl receivers....and our slot receiver can throw and run.

[Montsta]

Only interested if he changes his last name back to Johnson. Ocho Cinco is ridiculous.

[Snake]

Meh would you cut an up and coming Gettis or LaFell to allow him to come aboard? I would not...

Why would we have to cut LaFell or Gettis?

Chad Ochocinco hinted via Twitter Thursday that a trade with the Patriots could be in the works.

Ochocinco sent a message to a Twitter follower suggesting he's going to "enjoy clam chowder," an obvious reference to New England. While that's hardly evidence that a trade is in the works, the Cincinnati Enquirer felt compelled to write that Ochocinco speculation is in "overdrive" following a talk radio hosts statement that the receiver is on his way to Boston. If the Albert Haynesworth trade, nothing Bill Belichick does will surprise us.

NE is going to be nasty if that is true

[CatMan72]

I would take Ocho... Smitty would keep him in line.

Chico too for that matter

[rayzor]

Why do teams say we will release him if we can't get a trade?

leverage?

what, thats not how that works?

How is every team waiting for his free agency after hearing that.. leverage?

Saying out in the open..we'll, we are going to cut him if nobody trades. Won't every other team interested just wait for them to cut him..and save compensation...

lol

where's that stupid facepalm image?

[rayzor]

btw...didn't he change his last name back to johnson?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'd rather have MettaWorldPeace.

Growing speculation that the #Bengals could be looking to trade WR Chad Ochocinco. Nothing but rumors right now, but monitor the situation.

hmmmmm.

EDIT: Fug.

For what it's worth, a lot of the speculated rumors surrounding #Bengals trading WR C.Ochocino have #Patriots as the trade partner, per Roto

[Proudiddy]

WHY the F do teams can helping the patriots? All they ever get is late round picks back... You're telling me a crappier team isn't offering the same thing???
