Can't say I'm surprised. I can see him landing with the Pats, though he may not be able to be the same "free spirit" he was in Cincinnati.

[DeaconTheVillain]

I'd still love to have him in DC

[TMat184]

No surprise that "Incarcerated Bob" has the inside scoop on the Cincinnati Bengals. =)

[ACW]

I'd still love to have him in DC:yes:

[TonePatron]

I wonder how much his agent would demand. Hopefully a T.O.Cincinati deal , I believe 2 mil with bonus structure. If thats the case he should be in The B& G all day

[Santana_Fan]

Revis already said he wants him with the Jets, and if Braylon or Santonio aren't resigned, then I can see him in green and white.

[spjunkies]

"Incarcerated Bob" is just a random caller on WFAN how in the hell does his word count for anything LMFAO.

[ouvan59]

Maybe we can wait until he signs with someone else and then trade 2 first rounders for him. That would be awesome!!!

[BeefJerky]

I'd still love to have him in DC Worth a look see! :logo:

[kiingspadee]

I'll take him

Thank god, the Bengals turned down Vinny's offer year before last.

[ACW]

I don't believe Vinny made offerd that trade.

[Davidmore27]

I don't believe Vinny made offerd that trade.

I belive vinny himself said he made that offer on a radio show not to long ago. I could be wrong but I think I remember that.

No...he's not.

Father time is catching up with Chad.

[Koolblue13]

I wonder how many people who want him here, hated all of Portis's shenanigans.

[SWFLSkins]

I don't believe Vinny made offerd that trade.

Sorry, that is how crazy he rolled......

Vinny Cerrato Confirms He Nearly Traded Two First-Round Picks For Chad Ochocinco

by Mike Prada • May 25, 2011 1:57 PM EDT


Hey, Redskins fans, whenever you are upset with Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen, always remember that it could be a lot worse. Always remember that Vinny Cerrato could be in charge. The former Redskins' general manager has recently confirmed rumors that, yes, he did almost trade two first-round picks in 2008 to try to land Chad Ochocinco. Not one first-round pick. Two first-round picks. Somehow, the Bengals rejected the trade.

And they said no? This is why everyone calls them the Bungals.

[Hitman21ST]

And they said no? This is why everyone calls them the Bungals.

There's this gem from Vinny


"Drew [Rosenhaus] was pushing it hard, Chad was pushing it hard, and you know what, I think it worked out best for the Redskins that it didn't happen at the time. I think we ended up with Orapko [sic] and somebody else, so I think that worked out well, and Chad has declined quickly."

[SirClintonPortis]

Another WR owned by the "age 33" assainator.

[HailGreen28]

And they said no? This is why everyone calls them the Bungals.For real. Talk about a comedy of errors there, between them and Vinny.

[ACW]

I think Vinny's BSing. Why, I don't know :ols:
Luckily they refused, and we ended up with Orakpo (beast) and (hopefully) our OT for the next decade.

[Goingforburgundy]

Just think of where we would be if were cutting 85 this year and have no Orakpo or Trent. At least we would have Luck in the draft this year

Nope, ole bug eyes was dead serious.

[anar-k21]

I'd still love to have him in DC

me too actually...i wanted him when he wanted to come here but the bengals wouldnt trade him

[SkinsFanMania]

I don't believe Vinny made offerd that trade.

Vinny confirmed that trade on a Radio show in Baltimore about a month ago.

[Chachie]

No Chad for me, thxbye.

[pjfootballer]

I wouldn't want him. I like the direction we've taken this year.

[Koolblue13]

I'll say it again. How many of you in favor of bringing him in, were ain't antics of Clinton Portis?

[dreamshatterer]

Traded to the Patriots

[icewater210]

Don't have to worry about ocho cuz he is a patriot

[Phixius]

Why wouldn't the Bengals trade Carson but willing to trade Ochocinco?

[kevincollateral]

ochocinco is a patriot

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/07/28/ochocinco-is-headed-to-new-england/

[Skins4SB]

Excellent move. I think it may revitalize 85's career.

[Boss_Hogg]

LOL

Ocho and Phat Al

[DeadExField]

Wow didn't see that one coming.

[thebluefood]

Why wouldn't the Bengals trade Carson but willing to trade Ochocinco?

Good ol' fashioned spite.

[757SeanTaylor21]

Wonder what they gave up for him

[Hubbs]

**** yes. This is a perfect fit. I'm not kidding. I think this will be great for both Chad and the Patriots. I've been calling this for years among my friends from Boston. I'm not at all a fan of the Patriots, but this excites me because I am a fan of Ochocinco. A big fan. Anyone who says that he's a "cancer" because of his antics doesn't understand him, IMO. Yes, he's a brilliant self-marketer. But if you listen to enough of his interviews, you understand that he cares very much about the game. There's a reason that Bill Belichick, perhaps the most stoic man in the history of the world, traded for him. Just like there was a reason that Belichick traded for Randy Moss. (And a reason that he also traded him away. Moss was and is an intelligent, hyper-talented receiver who had a lot of personal issues which translated into a need for particular motivations to do anything with 100% effort. He found those motivations when he arrived at NE, and lost them by the time he left. I honestly feel bad for the guy; his implosion was really surreal to watch. Anyway, the point is that Belichick knew what he was doing then, and knows what he's doing now.)

[Bubble Screen]

Wow didn't see that one coming.

There has been talk of this for quite some time. Not surprising at all.

[Hubbs]

So what was the reason why he traded for Haynesworth?

Again, he knew what he was doing. I expect Haynesworth to be extremely productive as a Patriot. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear a few ESPN/NFL Network personalities to say that New England has added several "2-5" packages to its defense, with Wilfork and Haynesworth as the only down linemen. (This wouldn't be particularly revolutionary for the Pats, by the way. They were the first to semi-regularly deploy the true "amoeba" defense, with zero down linemen, as a tactic to completely bewilder the opposing quarterback and offensive line. As far as I know, they haven't regularly shown a 2-5 look yet, but I'm guessing that they'll at least try it this season.)

Belichick isn't perfect, but he's leaps and bounds ahead of most of the league. He's an evil genius.

[Dan T.]

I bet Aaron Hernandez is smiling right now. Who the hell is Aaron Hernandez, you ask? He's the 2nd year tight end for the Pats. He wears number 85. Eight. five.
If he's smart he's already begun negotiating with Ocho Cinco for the price to give up the 85 jersey.

As is Chris Kluewe the punter in Minneota who will be auctioning off #5 to McNabb. He could get a new bbq, car or vacation.

Actually I saw something on this. Kluewe plays bass in a local rock band called Tripping Icarus in the Twin Cities area. He tweeted " “If McNabb comes and wants 5, it's his, BUT he has to promise to mention Tripping Icarus in at least 5 press conferences.”

:ols:

FWIW, he showed up at practice today wearing #85.

[darklight1216]

Is "he" Hernandez or Ocho?

[bushwack]

Is "he" Hernandez or Ocho?

Chad Johnson was wearing #85. He's changing his name back to Johnson from OchoCinco.
