SWFLSkins Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 http://www.nbc-2.com/story/18761191/wr-chad-ochocinco-says-he-has-signed-with-dolphins By STEVEN WINE AP Sports Writer MIAMI (AP) - Out of work and not ready to retire, Chad Ochocinco found a job back in his hometown. The former Pro Bowl receiver signed with the Miami Dolphins on Monday, four days after being released by the New England Patriots. The signing came after Ochocinco had a tryout with the Dolphins, who are thin at the position and dropping a lot of passes in offseason drills. He's likely to join the team for this week's OTAs, which continue through Wednesday. "Congrats to Chad," tweeted his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. "It's nice to come home." The 34-year-old Ochocinco, a Miami native, made the Pro Bowl six times, most recently in 2009. He had only a minor role in his lone season with the Patriots, catching 15 passes for 276 yards.

Koolblue13 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Miami should be the top pick, for the top pick. They are going to be god awful. I feel terrible for poor young Tannehill. That's what I posted in one of the other Chad threads and I still agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Cool. How cool is it to essentially move home to retire late in your career, yet still play. And he'll surely get a lot more touches than Brady was willing to hand out. You never know, he might have an ok year. Can't speak to how good of a veteran presence he'll be though. When his advice is things like "you gotta tell 'em it's time to kiss the baby, man!" lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Awesome Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think this will revive his career actually...he should get plenty of touches. I just checked their roster to see what other receivers they had since I couldnt think of anyone off the top of my head...no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaos Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Perfect place for him. Not only does he go back home, but he gets the exposure he craves through HBO and Hard Knocks. HBO producers are ecstatic right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked their roster to see what other receivers they had since I couldnt think of anyone off the top of my head...no one.Fasano, Bess, Hartline, Naanee. Not terrible. But not superb either.

SirClintonPortis Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 He might as well consider himself retired. Miami is not going anywhere in the AFC East and Ocho is getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roanoker Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Wonder if Ocho will change his name to "El Delfin," The Dolphin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
