FOXBOROUGH, Mass. | Randy Moss and Corey Dillon were malcontents when they joined the New England Patriots. Rodney Harrison arrived with a reputation as a dirty, washed-up player.
All of them fit in very well with their new team.
Now Albert Haynesworth and Chad Ochocinco are coming and “The Patriot Way” will be tested once again.
After a season-long feud with Washington coach Mike Shanahan, Haynesworth, a defensive tackle, was traded by Washington on Thursday for a fifth-round draft choice in 2013. Haynesworth and Vince Wilfork will give New England a formidable defensive line.
The Patriots obtained Ochocinco, a wide receiver, from Cincinnati in a separate trade and agreed to terms on a three-year deal. He provides another option for Tom Brady, who has been without a deep target since the Patriots traded Randy Moss to Minnesota last season.
“I like Chad,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said last year. “An odd couple, but in the end I think we have a lot of things in common.”
