Ochocinco is officially unemployed, because the New England Patriots just dropped the famous wide receiver from the team.

According to reports, the Pats spent all day today trying to trade Ocho, but failed, so they have decided to release him instead. Ocho will now become a free agent.
34-year-old Ocho parted with the Bengals in 2011, after a ten-year relationship and was traded to the Pats last July. Ocho caught just 15 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown in his only season with the New England franchise. He was paid a reported $5.75 million for his troubles.
Chad just tweeted, “Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the ‘Patriot’ organization … fans were f****** wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best.”
And talk about rubbing salt in the wound — Chad’s fiancee Evelyn Lozada just tweeted, “Aww baby you got cut @ochocinco I got your back! I’m the bread winner now, which means I make the rules!”
