Darrelle Revis isn’t done with his outspoken antics after demanding over the weekend that the Jets need to re-sign Antonio Cromartie. He’s now moved on to the wide receiver position, lobbying to get Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco suited up in green and white next season. Jets fans know that when Revis talks, people listen, but could No. 85 really be headed to New York?
It’s safe to say Ocho is finished in Cincy, where he and head coach Marvin Lewis have butted heads for perhaps the last time. Ochocinco would be a good fit in New York with a team (and head coach) as boisterous as he is, and with Darrelle Revis on his side, perhaps the Jets will take a good look at the receiver.
CBS New York reported on Revis’ comments to the media earlier this week regarding Chad Ochocinco, with the cornerback saying, “I want Chad to come here and play for us, to be a Jet. I’ve been in his ear a lot about it this week… I think he could do well here. I’ve been telling him to come here.”
On the other end of this, Ochocinco has already laid out his cards when it comes to the Jets. On an episode of “The T.Ocho Show” last month, Ocho said he’d love to play Rex Ryan’s crew. “They will make it to this point every year,” he said. “I’d do anything to play for someone like Rex Ryan or anyone who has that type of mentality.”
