Chad Ochocinco is officially unemployed! The New England Patriots released the famous wide receiver yesterday. According to reports, the Pats spent all day today trying to trade Ocho … but failed — and have decided to release him instead. Ocho will now become a free agent. 34-year-old Ocho parted with the Bengals in 2011 — after a ten-year relationship — and was traded to the Pats last July. Ocho caught just 15 passes for 276 yards and a touchdown in his only season with the New England franchise. He was paid a reported $5.75 million for his troubles. Chad just tweeted,

“Thoroughly enjoyed the oppurtunity to play for the ‘Patriot’ organization … fans were f****** wicked awesome, I wish all of you the best.”

And talk about rubbing salt in the wound ….

Find out Chad’s fiance’ Evelyn Lozada tweeted:

“Aww baby you got cut @ochocinco I got your back! I’m the bread winner now, which means I make the rules!” BOOM

Ouch………
