Jets sign receiver quartet

The New York Jets today announced the signings of wide receivers Chad Ochocinco, Terrell Owens, Braylon Edwards, and Plaxico Burress to one year contracts. Each will make $2 million for the 2012 season.

According to Head Coach Rex Ryan, the Jets have little to lose in these signings. “We figure we have two quarterbacks that aren’t worth crap, so we might as well provide them with receivers that aren’t worth crap either. I know we have been asked about bringing in such head cases, but we figure our team chemistry probably couldn’t get worse, and if does we know that Plax is probably packing heat.”

In an unrelated move, the Jets have inquired with the Jacksonville Jaguars about trading for wide receiver Justin Blackmon and are considering a futures contract for former quarterback Ryan Leaf, pending his future release from prison. When asked about the signings, Jets’ owner Woody Johnson said, “I didn’t want to talk about Darrelle Revis’ contract anymore, so this seemed to be the easiest way to go.” Tim Tebow responded to our request for comment by simply telling us that he “is excited.”

make it 500k apiece and you've got a deal

After signing his first contract as a rookie for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2001, you might have forgiven Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson for thinking he'd made it.

But while other NFL newcomers splashed out on big houses and fast cars, the wide receiver was more focused on living frugally and developing his game.

Johnson, who enjoyed 11 seasons in the NFL, says that instead of lavishing money on a new house, he spent the first two years of his career living inside the Bengals stadium.

"You gotta remember, I stayed at the stadium the first two years because I didn't want to spend no money," Johnson told Shannon Sharpe's 'Club Shay Shay' show earlier this month.

"What's the point? Why are you telling me to go rent a house, go buy a house, or go rent a condo when everything I need is right here in the facility?

"Showers, cafeteria, TV, couch, gaming system. What's the point? I was so locked in. It wasn't about having my own space."
