FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- The New England Patriots released receiver Chad Ochocinco on Thursday, cutting loose the six-time Pro Bowl selection after one season in which he was more active on Twitter than on the field.
"Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the `Patriot' organization... fans were ... wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best," he tweeted at about the same time the team was announcing he had been released.
"I'm healthy n living life, I'll be fine," he wrote on Twitter, where he had changed his job description to "UNEMPLOYED BLACK GUY" and posed a photo of himself sitting on a suitcase at the airport, hitchhiking.
Ochocinco, 34, played in 15 games in his only season with the Patriots, starting three and catching 15 passes for 276 yards. He caught one pass in the Super Bowl as New England lost 21-17 to the New York Giants.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he is "in the process of gauging interest from potential teams."
During the playoffs, Patriots coach Bill Belichick described Ochocinco as a hard worker who "made a very good effort to do everything we've asked him to do on and off the field."
Ochocinco said the shift from star receiver to barely contributing role player was a struggle. But it paid off with his first trip to the Super Bowl - as a player, not as a gadfly asking questions on media day to those actually participating in the game.
"I'm happy, but the competitive side of me is (angry). Does that make sense?" he said before the team left for Indianapolis. "I handled myself with the utmost professionalism. I busted my (butt), didn't pout. That's what I do: `Give me the rock!' But I didn't do what people thought I would do. Even I thought I was going to do it."

I think Ochocinco punched out a couple of years ago. He will be lucky if he gets a shot as a 3rd receiver now.
Maybe he just needs to change his attitude or maybe he really is done.
he better hope basketball wives doesnt get cancelled.
Not sure who I feel worse for, him TO or Moss, all classless acts.
To me Chad is not as unlikeable as the other two mentioned but you can`t beat father time.
I would kill to have Moss' God given talent... his shitty work ethic & quitter attitude hurt him more than anything.
I think Johnson (I refuse to call him Ochocinco) will get another chance somewhere but not as the # 1 receiver... he better take advatage of it, he was terrible last year.
Worst Class Act list would go something like this:Originally Posted by Lizard King
1. TO
....
25. Moss
1,000,000. Chad
Not even comparable. Chad has fun. What the **** is wrong with that?
Lets not forget Leonard Little.
Look at me, I changed my name to my number = douche, lol
Ok, maybe not as classless as the other 2 but he is on the douche radar.
Maybe. But he's very savvy in terms of how he markets himself in order to earn a living beyond football. I would bet the name change put a few dollars in his pocket.
Moss is being a model citizen with the 49ers he might finally get it.
the worst are OJ and Rae Carruth
