According to Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports, free agent wide receiver Chad Ochocinco will likely know which team he’ll sign with by this next week. Right now the team that he’s eyeing is the Miami Dolphins, since he’s from South Florida and currently has a home there.
It would make sense for the Dolphins to at least bring Ochocinco in for a try out since they lack a true number one receiver after trading away Brandon Marshall this offseason.
Last night Robert Littal of BlackSportsOnline.com hinted that Ochocinco could be headed to Miami.

Chad Ochocinco was released from the Patriots, and it sparks the question, is his career over?

You’d had to be blind not to have seen this coming.

So it was hard to see where Ochocinco would fit in.
Turns out, he doesn’t. And the Patriots, after trying...
