The Facts:
The Patriots attempted to trade Ochocinco and weren’t able to find any takers, and as a result they’ll release him, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Ochocinco’s departure comes after just one season in New England, a season in which he contributed almost nothing to the offense: He caught just 15 passes for 276 yards in 2011. He will now become an unrestricted free agent. As PFT's Michael David Smith suggested, given that the Patriots weren’t able to find any takers on the trade market -- and given his weak production in New England last season -- he’s likely going to find few teams interested in his services in free agency. Ochocinco joins Terrell Owens, Braylon Edwards and Plaxico Burress as once-productive veteran receivers who are now on the free agent market, and who seem to be viewed as more trouble than they’re worth by most NFL teams.
