Ochocinco likes the Fins

Right now he is showing the Fins the love. Last week he was kissing the fanny of Rex and the Jets. This guy is trying to have some options open if Cincy cuts him this offseason.

He must be under the impressions he will be on the open market soon and is putting out feelers.

I was at ESPN the Weekend.  I sat in on a Q&A with OchoCinco, Larry Fitzgerald, and Anquan Boldin

Someone from the crowd asked them all "if you could play for any team, where would you want to be??"

OchoCinco: "I would love to be a Miami Dolphin"

I wonder why?  I don't think it's because of Miami's prolific offensive output, or the accuracy of our quarterback.  Several possibilities

• Chad's productive years are behind him and few teams are interested.....might as well pick one that's desperate
• With the Dolphins problems getting the ball down field, any lack of productivity will be blamed on the QB
• Chad loves the South Beach nightlife

Obviously, I'm not in favor of another prima donna wide receiver in Miami.  For what we would have to pay, I think that money is better invested in other places.

Chad is from South Florida and was a Dolphins' fan (and claims he still is) growing up.  He went to Miami Beach Senior High School.

This post implies Chad "grew up".

...it would be nice to ass someone like Ocho next to B.Marshall, but he might cost too much money, and maybe getting a RB/TE would be a better choice. Although the Dolphins def should get more help for the QB, all the defenses have to do is double Marshall and we're screwed again. Bess is good, but another weapon, like good TE would be nice, and a young RB, I'd keep Ricky over Ronnie too next season.

Ricky threw our entire coaching staff and front office under the bus one day after the season, YOU or your grandmas has a better shot at playing RB next year for Sparano than Ricky Williams does!!

I hope not because he voiced his opinion and told the truth. Oh what a horrible thing he did. As far as I am concerned the whole coaching staff and front office should have been thrown under a train...........

You don't throw coaches and teammates under the bus in the media. That isn't vocing an opinion. That is being an a-hole and a bad teammate.

How can anyone in that lockerroom trust him again. Whether what he said was true or not, doesn't matter. You don't air dirty laundry in the media. He did. He once again became "bad ricky". And he can't be brought back. Not if you want any chance of winning at least.

I have stated before and will continue to state that I think our receiving corps is just fine. More than that, I think they are well above average. We have other positions of need, mainly QB, so no need on spending money to improve something that doesn't need it as much.

Plus, he's a dick.

Our #1 WR drops everything. And not one of our WR's has any real speed. We don't stretch the field vs the top teams. Can't win a super bowl let alone go far in the playoffs playing that way.

I can understand your opinion, but having Jerry Rice in his prime won't change matters much when you don't have a QB.

having a great QB with no WR's is a waste as well. What comes first the chicken or the egg. One makes the other better and vice versa. Just becuase we don't have a quality QB doesn't mean we should ignore upgrading the WR position which needs it badly

[Brian Fein]

I would agree that Ochocinco would be a huge upgrade at the #2 WR position over Brian Hartline.  Bess is a great player, but his best work is done out of the slot and over the middle, which leaves the wide-out empty.

True. Im not even big on bringing Ochocinco in here. Trading for him would be silly. But we MUST upgrade the WR position. Our offense is too slow.....no matter WHO the QB is
