According to Tom Curran ofย Comcast Sports New England, Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco has a “30 percent chance” of making the team’s roster this season.
“And that might be a little generous,” admits Curran, via NBC Sports.
New England aggressively improved their receiving core during free agency as they wound up signingย Brandon Lloyd,ย Jabar Gaffney,ย Donte’ Stallworth andย Anthony Gonzalez. The Patriotsย will also haveย Wes Welker,ย Deion Branch,ย Julian Edelmanย andย Matthew Slater, so you can see that Ochocinco will have to be very impressive to secure a roster spot.
Last year struggled throughout the season to not only learn the team’s playbook, but contribute in a limited capacity.ย Ochocinco is set to makeย $1 million for the upcoming season, so the Patriots could end up will some extra cash by making this move.
