New England is all a-Twitter over Chad Ochocinco's arrival.

The indignities just keep coming for Colts fans today.  Seems as if all of our old nemeses are making big strides toward having a big year, and the latest news is that the Bengals have traded receiver Chad Ochocinco to the New England Patriots.  According to an ESPN report, Ochocinco will get a three-year contract extension that restructures his current pay scale to fit in the Patriots’ salary cap.  While I don’t necessarily wish that Ochocinco were coming to Indy, I sure don’t want him to go to the Patriots.

For all the drama that Ochocinco creates, he is still a darn productive receiver, logging 67 catches for 831 yard in what could be considered a down year last season.  He’s 33 years old but keeps himself in great shape and could probably help just about any team in the NFL.   With the Pats and Tom Brady, though, Ochocinco could be dynamite.    While I don’t necessarily expect him to repeat the record-setting performance that Randy Moss turned in with Brady guiding him a few years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised to see peak-level production from #85 again (if he can score that jersey).

Once again, December 4 in Boston could be a mess for the Colts.

CashTree 101 is in Session for Jacksonville.

As Michael Floresca predicted earlier today, the Jacksonville Jaguars snagged Colts free agent linebacker Clint Session this afternoon.  As reported on CBSSports, the Jags are signing Session to a five-year, $30 million contract that includes $11.5 million in guaranteed money.   Session has performed well for the Colts, and he is a tough customer, having played with a broken arm and dislocated elbow, but this is pretty much an outrageous sum for a decent, but not great linebacker.  There is no way the Colts could, or would want to, match that price, whether or not they give Peyton Manning all the money in Carmel.   Kavell Conner may get the chance to play the weak side on a full-time basis, and I’m fine with that.    Especially at these prices.

Session might be making plays in Jacksonville next year

Seems like every year in free agency the Colts will lose some top linebacker talent to a division rival or someone with a big checkbook. This year, it looks like Clint Session is on the radar of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are looking to fill the void of departing linebacker Justin Durant, according to ESPN.

Last year for the Colts, Session missed 11 games after injuring his elbow in a Monday Night Football game against the Texans, where he finished the game with 8 tackles, one sack and one pass defended. That would be the last game Session played in 2010; he had 38 tackles on the season. The Colts would be losing their starting weak-side linebacker if Session left, and wouldn’t have a ready replacement for  him, since his backup last year, Tyjuan Hagler, is a free agent as well.

David Thornton, Cato June, Marcus Washington and Mike Peterson are just a few of the former Colts linebackers who have left in free agency in the past. Session may be going the way of Peterson who left to the Jaguars after the 2002 season. Session would join former Buffalo Bill Paul Posluzny in Jacksonville, who came to an agreement with the Jags earlier this week.
