Mon, 06 Feb 2012 07:50:13 -0800 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco is scheduled to earn a $3 million base salary in 2012, and it's hard to imagine the team bringing him back at that salary after a 15-catch regular season.

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:50:28 -0800 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco hasn't complained about his role in the offense, or lack thereof, and he is just happy to be with the team at Super Bowl XLVI. "I'd rather be right here (than have 100 catches). I've already put up all the numbers," Ochocinco said Tuesday, Jan. 31. "I've already done that. One of the things I was really happy about was that this was one of the few times, or really the only time, that I won't be home at the Martin Luther King parade because I'm always home the first week of January."
Sat, 28 Jan 2012 10:02:36 -0800 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco said he hopes to return next season and believes a full offseason will allow him to build chemistry with QB Tom Brady.

Tue, 29 Nov 2011 12:15:13 -0800 New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien said the team's third receiver role changes on a week-to-week basis between WRs Taylor Price, Chad Ochocinco and Tiquan Underwood. "It's a week-to-week deal," O'Brien said. "This week it could be Taylor, it could be Ocho, it could be Tiquan, it could be somebody you guys have never heard of. That's the beauty of what we do. At some point in time, hopefully, every one of those guys will contribute to what we're trying to get done."
Sun, 27 Nov 2011 17:26:14 -0800 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco (hamstring) was inactive in Week 12, but WR Taylor Price still had no receptions. In fact, WR Tiquan Underwood, signed this week, played ahead of Price, as did WR Julian Edelman.

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:35:27 -0800 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has two receptions for 65 yards in Week 10 against the New York Jets, leading the team's wide receivers in yardage.
Thu, 10 Nov 2011 07:26:25 -0800 The New England Patriots are not expected to release WR Chad Ochocinco after the team released DL Albert Haynesworth. Ochocinco is becoming more familiar with QB Tom Brady and a complex offense different than the one he played in with the Cincinnati Bengals. Ochocinco's playing time increased in Week 9, when he had a season-high five passes thrown his way. However, for the third consecutive game, he didn't have a catch. Still, on at least two of the passes, he beat the cornerback, but Brady's passes arrived late.
Mon, 07 Nov 2011 07:56:27 -0800 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady said during a radio interview Monday, Nov. 7, that he still has confidence in WR Chad Ochocinco, even though Ochocinco has yet to adapt to the team's offense. "We make improvements every week," Brady said. "It's just a matter of us ultimately getting it done in the game. Every week there's more confidence in what we're doing with him, and with him and me. It's just a matter of us getting out there and doing it on the field." Ochocinco has just nine catches for 136 yards and no scores for the season. He was held without a catch and targeted just five times in Week 9.
Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:43:42 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has just nine grabs for 136 yards and no touchdowns after six weeks of the NFL season. He hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 10 of last season, making it 10 games since his last score.
Tue, 18 Oct 2011 11:17:01 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco was on the field for very few snaps in the team's Week 6 game, and the one pass that targeted Ochocinco fell incomplete. He has not been a part of the team's plans while in the no-huddle package, and QB Tom Brady still has to remind him where he needs to be at times. As a result, the team will consider cutting ties with the veteran wideout.
Mon, 17 Oct 2011 12:21:57 -0700 New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien and personnel director Nick Caserio defended WR Chad Ochocinco after he had no catches for the first time this year in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. "Ocho is progressing every week," O'Brien said. "He's done a really good job in practice and when he's been in certain parts of games, he's produced. You know, two-minute drives at the end of the half and things. We're happy with where Ocho is right now."
Sun, 16 Oct 2011 21:53:09 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco managed to see action on just seven snaps in Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. He did not record any receptions.
Wed, 05 Oct 2011 15:54:20 -0700 New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan isn't disclosing who CB Darrelle Revis will cover against the New England Patriots in Week 5. "We have, but that doesn't mean I have to tell you or anybody else. Whoever we put him on, he'll cover. If that's (Deion) Branch, if that's (Wes) Welker, if it's Chad Ochocinco, or, you know, (former Patriots wide receiver) Randy Vataha. It doesn't matter, he'll cover him."
Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:10:42 -0700 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady said the criticism former players have of WR Chad Ochocinco is unfounded. "Honestly, none of those guys have any clue what they're talking about," Brady said. "They're outside of the locker room."
Sun, 18 Sep 2011 18:33:04 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco posted two receptions for 45 yards in Week 2 against the San Diego Chargers. Still, through two games, Ochocinco has just three catches for 60 yards, while QB Tom Brady has passed for 940 yards.
Thu, 15 Sep 2011 08:44:26 -0700 Although New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has received praise by teammates for his work ethic, internally, the coaching staff has turned up the heat for Ochocinco to learn the offensive scheme quicker.
Wed, 14 Sep 2011 05:36:55 -0700 Former NFL LB Tedy Bruschi was critical of New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco during a radio interview, saying Ochocinco should spend more time learning the playbook and less time on Twitter. "Stop tweeting and get in your playbook," Bruschi said. "Wake up! If you're just waking up now - I don't know when this was, six minutes ago? - get out your bed and get to the stadium and watch some film if you still think its amazing. If you're in it and you know what you're doing and you execute out there you don't think it's amazing. You know why? Because it's what you're supposed to do. All of a sudden it's second nature ... Join the system, buddy."
Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:17:49 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco was on the field for just 18 of the team's 80 total snaps in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins Monday, Sept. 12. TEs Aaron Hernandez (66) and Rob Gronkowski (21) were used heavily, thus limiting Ochocinco's time. Also contributing to his absence was the team's reliance on a no-huddle offense, which led the Patriots to use receivers with more experience in the system.
Mon, 12 Sep 2011 20:31:42 -0700 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady threw for the most yards in a single game in nearly 15 years in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, but WR Chad Ochocinco managed just one catch for 14 yards in his team debut.
Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:27:40 -0700 The New England Patriots may not use WR Chad Ochocinco as the No. 2 wide receiver at the start of the season and could wait until after their bye before moving him into the starting lineup. Fantasy Tip: Ochocinco has been slow to pick up the offense, saying he has it about 70 percent down. While he may not begin the year with the starters, there is no realistic way the Pats wait until after their Week 7 bye. He is a low-end No. 3 or perfect fourth fantasy receiver as a 33-year-old.
Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:12:24 -0700 New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick continues to praise WR Chad Ochocinco for his work ethic as he tries to pick up the offense. "He's a lot further along then when he started," Belichick said.
Sun, 28 Aug 2011 23:56:39 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has had a horrible preseason. He works his tail off, shows up every day and is as disappointed in his play so far as everyone else has been.
Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:51:36 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has been working in two-receiver packages with WR Wes Welker in training camp. WR Deion Branch joins the mix in three-receiver packages.
Thu, 18 Aug 2011 12:24:04 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has had some problems picking up the offense during training camp because it requires more on-the-fly interpretation from the quarterback and receiver than he experienced with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Wed, 10 Aug 2011 17:06:50 -0700 New England Patriots DL Albert Haynesworth, who was scheduled to make $5.4 million this year, restructured his contract to $1.5 million. He will not receive any bonuses, either. Haynesworth is due a base salary of $6.7 million next year. WR Chad Ochocinco trimmed his salary for this year from $6 million down to $1 million. He also has a $1.5 million roster bonus.
Sun, 31 Jul 2011 14:49:04 -0700 New England Patriots WRs Deion Branch and Chad Ochocinco worked with the first-string offense Sunday, July 31. Branch is excited to have Ochocinco as part of the team, and said it's nice to add another great player to the mix. He did caution, however, that Ochocinco needs to focus on learning things one day at a time and not try to learn too much too quickly. "It's a big difference when you're doing stuff fast and wrong," Branch said. "We're all out here still making mistakes. Nothing's perfect right now. We're all learning each and every day. Chad's not the only person that's learning, lets be honest."
Sat, 30 Jul 2011 12:50:50 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco won't have to change his last name or his jersey number, as TE Aaron Hernandez, who had control of the No. 85 jersey, has given the number to Ochocinco at no cost. Hernandez joked he should have asked for compensation, but opted not to. Hernandez will now wear No. 81.
