Just In: Patriots part ways with Ochocinco
boston herald
Chad Ochocinco’s time as a New England Patriot is over.
The wide receiver has been released by the team, according to a league source. Not only that, but the Patriots attempted to trade Ochocinco before cutting ties with the wide receiver. Apparently, there wasn’t much of a trade market for a 15-reception per season receiver.
It was a bizarre day for the heavily scrutinized wideout. He reported to Gillette Stadium earlier today before quickly departing, and he was not present at practice. There also was a moment when Ochocinco removed his Patriots info from his Twitter bio, though he replaced it shortly afterward.
Now, we know what it all meant. Ochocinco couldn’t catch up to speed with the playbook, and the Patriots decided to part ways.
