Patriots Acquire Chad Ochocinco From Bengals: Who Knew 49ers Had Interest

in NFL Free Agency
Email
PrintThere has been some chatter this offseason about the 49ers need to acquire a veteran wide receiver to mix in with the young group of receivers they have. Well, it turns out the 49ers did make at least one effort to add a veteran. According to Ian Rapaport of the Boston Herald, the 49ers had actually asked for and been given permission to try and work out a trade with the Bengals for Chad Ochocinco.
I'll be honest, I did a double-take when I saw that on Twitter. The 49ers were interested in Ochocinco? I'm not saying that's a good or a bad thing, but I certainly didn't see it coming. The Raiders were also granted permission, which was kind of random. Although the Raiders do enjoy their supposedly washed-up veterans.
If the 49ers had acquired Ochocinco, his 2010 numbers would have been good for second behind Vernon Davis. It was last year so that means next to nothing, but it's at least worth a note. The important thing to glean from this information is that the 49ers apparently are actually in the market for a wide receiver. It could have just been a singular interest in Ochocinco, but I'd be more inclined to believe they're in the market for a veteran wide receiver to pair up with Crabtree, Morgan, Williams and the other young receivers on the roster.
Do they try and make a splash with someone like Braylon Edwards, or do they play this a bit more conservatively? I have nothing to indicate they're interested in Edwards, but rather am just throwing out a name. James Jones is also out there and was sort of linked to the 49ers due to his practicing at San Jose State this offseason. Maybe he is on the radar?

Giants former WR
and USC alumni Steve Smith… go get him
by KGGotGame on Jul 28, 2011 3:14 PM PDT reply actions 2 recs
Aw now I'm kinda sad.
I would have liked having Ochocinco here, just for the novelty of it. Plus, he’s a great player who, like many poor souls, has been lost in the quagmire of despair that is the Cincinnati Bengals. I think going to the Pats, with a real coach and a real QB, will totally revitalize his career. Good move for everyone involved (except the Bengals, who will end up screwing up the draft pick they receive anyways).
Like him or not..

Why?
he was making something like $6 million per year which isn’t that bad and he would not have been cut. Who would beat him as the #2 WR? Josh Morgan? Zeigler? Williams? Ginn?
he is not worth it, look at his number, and you do not know how he is going to affect the locker room.
better off without him

How is he going to affect the locker room?
Ocho Cinco has always been a positive influence on said locker room. 49ers barely have any 500 yard receivers, let alone a 1000.
And then God created Saturn ... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it. ... Always a ninja
SaberCats Examiner | SB Nation Bay Area | Niners Nation | Twitter
all of the niners main receiving targets had over 500 yards, chad does not put up over 1,000 yards consistently.
how is chad not going to effect the locker? if chad does not affect the locker room than why is he being traded?

You're wrong
chad does not put up over 1,000 yards consistently.
Chad’s been in the league 10 years. He’s had 1000+ receiving yards 7 of those years. Of the three years he didn’t, one was his rookie year, one was this last season where he was sharing time with T.O.,
so you want a guy on the team that would openly call out the coach? that is not a distraction?
it has been talked/rumored that chad runs the routes that he wants to run not what is called.

So you think an NFL coach would let a player run his own routes and not bench him?
Good one.
Ochocinco was always hated by league officials. His teammates never seemed to have a problem with him anymore than any other player. If there is anybody who knows how to have fun and realizes he is PLAYING A GAME, it’s Chad.
I think you got the bad locker room thing from that other receiver they had last year. What was his name?…..

Chad has never had problems with his teammates
there has never been an issue with him in the lockerroom.
He only started 12 games last year (played in 14) and managed 831 yards and 4 TDs.
Our current number 2 WR Josh Morgan played in 16 games and managed 698 yards and only 2 TDs
Our current number 1 WR Michael Crabtree played in 16 games and managed 741 yards and 6 TDs
He’s still go plenty of gas left, he had a productive year last season despite having T.O on the other side. $5 million per year is perfectly reasonable for a #2 WR.
so all the passing yardage is all on the receivers? vernon had 941 yards last year.
and last years offense was horribly pathetic. ocho cinco can stay on the east.

Yeah
The Niners need to hurry up and start making some moves before everyone is gone.
I am getting a little nervous. Seems like we are getting outbid by everyone… but we can’t afford to make anymore mistakes like Clements contract, so I understand somewhat. But at some point you have to take a leap of faith.

clements contract was not a mistake for the niners.
it was a team friendly contract.

It seems to me
That everyone is overpaying in a mad rush to fill needs. I love TKO, wouldn’t have given him that deal, same with Baas.
For other examples, Kolb doesn’t deserve what he got or even close, Santonio Holmes was for some reason treated like a top 10-15 WR, the list goes on…Clearly some will work out others won’t, but as a business decision most of them are astounding to me.
Barrows...
I think said it was 5 yrs, $26 mil at one point. Of course now that I said it, I can’t find it…
What you are looking at is the winners curse
Which is defined with free agency.
Lets say the true value of a free agent is unknown. All teams desiring that player make an offer without knowing the free agents true value on their team playing their schemes.
Even if we make kind assumptions about the skill of the player we should still see a distribution around his true value, with some teams offering him less than his true value, and some offering more.
The team that signs the free agent is thus always the team that has overvalued that free agent the most.
This is why big free agent splashes always disappoint when you consider what you spent on them. The only true values to be had are free agents who’s true value is underestimated by every competing bid so far that you can “win” the bidding while still paying less than a players true value.
And that is how you build a competitive roster year in and year out, getting the most player value for your money, since you have a hard constraint on how much you may spend.
Well
Some of that is true, but my point is a lot of the dynamics behind a normal FA period is distorted or thrown out the window as no one is used to this small window. It makes front offices a lot more likely to overspend. We are much more than 1 or 2 players away from seriously contending so I’m fine with letting players walk…
Don’t get me wrong, I still want Nnamdi, and he is more worth overpaying than just about anyone, but it still has to make sense.
Yeah, and it doesn't (make sense)
Put high emotion into a process already defined by the winner’s curse and throw in a new CBA that front offices still don’t fully understand — and you are going to see many teams who were most active in FA end up in salary cap hell a couple years down the road.
i thought
he changed his name back to chad johnson. is this not so?
He legally changed his name to Ocho Cinco
so he’ll have to go back to court to legally change it back. Apparently he hasn’t done it yet.
we just want Nnamdi and JJ to sign with the niners.
"You know whats funny? I always thought uhm dogs lay eggs and I learned something new today" Peter Griffin
No, need both. lock that down.
chris culliver can play the nickle. mays and reggie smith play safety. that would be an awesome pass defense.

We could have got him for what we paid McDonald

This Is better from Pats website....
And Haynesworth’s contract, at this point, is very manageable. According to the sports contract website Spotrac.com, Haynesworth is due base salaries of $5.4 million in 2011 and $6.7 million in 2012. In 2013, Haynesworth is due a $20.5 million bonus, so you can be 100% sure the Patriots won’t retain him past 2012. So essentially, the Patriots have Haynesworth on a two year, $12 million deal.

Okay I am just going to say it
That whole thing about the 49ers not being players in the market was a bunch of BS and probably a PR ploy to surprise potential suitors for other players. The 49ers seem to be one of the most active teams on the market at this point.
Which brings me to something else. It appears the 49ers are good at keeping everything at its best. Meaning, they don’t leak a lot of information You cannot really sign players until tomorrow and the first time that trades could be made official, 1PM today, we hear about Ochocinco.
The 49ers have stuff in the works, we are just not hearing much about it. Now, as the trade/free agency period begins; you are hearing the 49ers linked to a lot of big names on the market

Because he's not Nnamdi
And few teams will pay more for the consolation player. Signing first was smart. If Nnamdi signed a deal just slightly better than what JJ got first, JJ would have had to settle for much less I think.
He didn’t even come close to “attacking” you and there were around 60 different people who asked him about The Eagles. And that’s without “really” looking.

WRs
I don’t think the 49ers need to land a big name WR now. I think in the right system and with the right attitude Crabtree can be a true #1 WR. SF needs to spend their time and money trying to land Joseph or Asomugha. I knew that was their main focus once free agency started because they didn’t spend their top picks on CBs in the draft. Let’s hope they nab at least one of them.

Silence is golden
I hope that is the case here.
I think it is more about them
not leaking the information or not allowing it to be leaked. Kind of funny that the the minute trades can be made official they are linked to Chad. May want to reserve judgment until players can officially sign.
Michael Lombardi had a good point in regards to that today. He spoke, and I am paraphrasing, about the fact that “some teams” are not going to show their hands with offers until you can officially sign a player because they don’t want the agent to “shop” that offer to other teams.

Yeah
I know that people think silence means they’re trying to get more money—and this is possible, but also think it means they’re trying to figure out where they want to go, which means it isn’t about the money.
I think Joseph is waiting on Nnamndi, because that deal will set the market price.
Exactly
If Nnamdi was mainly worried about money he would have signed already. There is a lot to the idea of him LOVING the Bay Area. There is also a possibility that SF is waiting until Friday to make contract commitments to certain players.
After all, San Francisco had to work out the Clements situation as well as Carr etc…

"I am our future, forget Kory"
by nocal81(Vincent) on Jul 28, 2011 4:27 PM PDT up reply actions
You have it backwards
I believe Nnamdi will wait until JJ and Cromartie have their deals.
When they have set and more importantly left the market, he will demand a bigger contract than either of them received because there will be multiple teams left that want him and any of the “consolation prize” players are already gone.
Do you really think his agent is going to let ego and dwindling supply leapfrog Nnamdi’s contract?
Now maybe I’m wrong on what he will do. But I’m right on the point that if you are Nnamdi and are concerned about maximizing your payday, you want to wait, not sign now.
That isn't
the way it usually works. For example, Sidney Rice didn’t sign his deal until Santonio Holmes did. Usually the best player sets the market for the rest.
It is a huge risk to do what you think he might because that market value may be lowered due to the contracts that Joseph and Cromartie gets. Also, the NFLPA wouldn’t be too happy with that

"I am our future, forget Kory"
by nocal81(Vincent) on Jul 28, 2011 4:57 PM PDT up reply actions
Two things to consider
First, how could anything that happens with Joseph or Cromartie lower Nnamdi’s market value?
Nnamdi signing first could lower their value, because Nnamdi is better than either by a large margin and teams will be reluctant to be so obviously overpaying for a consolation player.
It’s actually in Joseph and Cromartie’s interest to get a deal signed before Nnamdi.
Second, it’s his last contract — why wouldn’t he maximize his contract seeing that demand for top end CBs is much higher than the supply?

it is not good when your other corner gets burned deep all the time and does not tackle. niners have to spend money. niners have about 20million dollars they have to spend this year. why not spend 15million of it on Nnamdi? pass defense is going to be garbage with spencer and brown. last year will look like nothing compared to that.
