Chad Ochocinco will take a pay cut to sign Terrell Owens

PrintIn an article that TMZ probably misunderstood Chad Ochocinco after the wide receiver said that he and Carson Palmer "don't get along during the off-season", Chad did point that he'd gladly take a pay cut if that means getting Terrell Owens to sign in Cincinnati.
...he looked pretty damn serious when he told us how badly he wants fellow NFL receiver Terrell Owens to join his squad ... even insisting he'd take a pay cut to get T.O. in stripes.
Chad has been selling Terrell Owens to the Bengals all month. We pointed out about two weeks ago that the Bengals would have to give something up to get Owens. I'm not speaking technically of course. They could sign every 30-plus year old wide receiver in the game. It's not likely though. The variable. Snow. The constant. Mike Brown.
Still, we have to give Chad credit. He's pushing the issue for two reasons -- a friend on the team and a player that could help the offense; neither of which are bad things.

Mr. Brown, tell us you understand that this team needs another weapon! Matt Jones could be a good 3 or 4 receiver if his head and heart are in the game. But we need, if we are going to compete with the schedule we have, another proven receiver now! Please don’t count on a receiver in the draft making an immediate impact, the Bengals have not done so well in the last few years with that route. I never thought i would ever say this, but let’s give T.O a shot. Got to be a good year or two left in him. Of course in a dream world i would like to see Marshall, Boldin, or a Vincent Jackson
Some people have noted that only Chad is agitating for TO right now and that means we don’t really want him. Well, I suppose that could be true, but it doesn’t have to be either. Right now TO is still under contract in Buffalo. If the coaches say one solitary word about him that’s technically tampering and they could theoretically get in trouble for it.
Granted, it’s not likely, but why risk it? Just keep your yaps shut until he’s free and clear, then say what you want to then.
For those who can't remember the uncapped FA rules, this link's for you.
Friar, I think the cat is out of the bag on TO. Players and fans can say what they want.

Yeah. But the coaches can’t. My point was simply that although the coaches haven’t supported Chad, that doesn’t mean they don’t like the idea. Of course, it doesn’t mean they do either.

I hope they do. I like the idea.

T.O. in stripes
get real if were gonna go and sign a wide out and chad wants 2 take a pay cut then i say pay brandon marshall but chad wont go 4 that because he sees brandon as a threat because he younger faster and probaly stronger. chad if your serious about takin a pay cut then u ought 2 tell mike what ever it takes 2 sign brandon lets lock him for a long time that would give carson a real weapon and not a circus

Although, I'd personally like to see Marshall in stripes more than T.O.
Carson NEEDS more weapons to throw to.
