The Dolphins worked out Ochocinco after he was released by the New England Patriots** on Thursday.

Ochocinco, 34, is a Miami native. He made the Pro Bowl six times, most recently in 2009, but had only a minor role in his lone season with the Patriots**, catching 15 passes for 276 yards.

Miami is thin at the receiver position after trading Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall to the Chicago Bears in March for two third-round draft picks. The Dolphins then didn't draft a receiver until the sixth round. New Miami head coach Joe Philbin conceded there has been room for improvement in the pass-catching during offseason workouts, including an OTA Monday.

So now he gets to go to the Dolphins and help them not win a Super Bowl?

the dolphins must be seriously thin in the wide receiver department.

This actually may be a good move for Chad. His career has been left for dead at least 2 years before he left cinci. Now he's gone to the Patriots** and didn't succeed, only to have a glimmer of hope in Miami. Let's face it, it's not like the media pundits are going to be keeping a close eye on the dolphins. Therefore, Chad could quietly have a great season and revive his career.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Chad have a relatively productive season, and help the dolphins have a respectful season (9-7).

I'm sure he could end up being their leading receiver, but who else do they honestly have?

I don't see him doing much. He seems to have flamed out a couple of years ago.
