Welcome to the Jags.

Jags, Dolphins, Browns, Colts, and possibly the redskins are teams that should be making contact with him. Maybe even denver, but thats a huge maybe. Most likely will go to a team thats on the bottom looking up. btw, any updates on Braylon Edwards? A healthy B.E is probably better than most of the other FA guys out there

During recent OTAs, he also struggled to recognize zone versus man coverage. Even if it irked Carson Palmer, Ochocinco often got away with freelancing as opposed to running the correct route in Cincinnati. That was never going to work in the Patriots' precision timing offense, which relies on receivers to make pre-snap reads and run exactly where Tom Brady expects them to run.

According to Bengals.com, T.J. Houshmandzadeh used to tell Chad Ochocinco where to line up on offense in Cincinnati.
Ochocinco's cavalier attitude toward the playbook started long before his one-year stop-over in New England. Ochocinco's offensive freelancing certainly didn't endear him to Carson Palmer or former Bengals OC Bob Bratkowski, now in Jacksonville. There's also belief in the Queen City that Ochocinco never played as hard again after being nailed by Browns safety Brian Russell in the 2006 home opener. "If I went with Tom Brady and didn't produce, I'd hang it up," Houshmandzadeh said of Ochocinco's 2011 struggles.

sounds like he should be part of Jimmy Raye's offense.

OUCH

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter Patriots signed former Cowboys WR Jesse Holley today. So basically traded @Ochocinco's roster spot to Holley.

I've heard that stuff with TJ helping Chad for a while now. Supposedly it even goes back to their college days at Oregon State, too.

He signed w/Fins...I'd say last chance to show he's still got something.
