Report: Cincinnati Trades Chad Ochocinco To Patriots For Two Draft Picks

As they always seem to do, the New England Patriots have pulled off a doozy of a trade by acquiring WR Chad Ochocinco from the Cincinnati Bengals. And as they always seem to do, they did so without giving up very much.

The Bengals will receive two late draft picks from the Patriots in return for the 33-year-old. One of the picks will be in the 2012 NFL Draft while the other will be from the 2013 Draft.

We know that the 2012 pick can't be the fifth-rounder. That's already been given to the Washington Redskins for Albert Haynesworth.

The Patriots reportedly beat out the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders for Ochocinco's services.

Ochocinco spent his entire ten-year career up until this point in Cincinnati.

Check out Pats Pulpit to see what Pats fans think of the new arrival and stay tuned to Cincy Jungle to see how Bengals fans are reacting to the loss.
