The more interesting story re: Shockey

[CatMan72]

Because team chemistry is huge, a poison like that may be talented but ultimately hurts the team.

If he was really that good he wouldn't be looking for his third team.

...and you have to be even more concerned about team chemistry when you have such a young team.

Exactly, young QB's to worry about and can you imagine the press when Steve Smith breaks his face?

lol maybe he should punch some more people. Ken Lucas played some damn good football after that.

Either ways, as far as I know Shockey generally gets along with his teammates and something tells me him and Smitty would get along fine.

Okay so two sides here:

#1: Don't want Shockey because he has a reputation of an attention ***** and an asshole, he's injury prone, he's over the hill, etc.

#2: We want Shockey because our team was 2-14 last year and we got terrible production from the TE position. With his history with our O-Coordinator, he could be an immediate impact player, if only in the short term.

I vote #2 if he's cheap.

I don't care about his attitude as long as he stays out of trouble off the field.

His numbers were down last year and he may be on the way out. Agree that he needs to be cheap

Relating this to the CBA is like seeing a flash of light in the night sky and thinking it was an UFO.

Ever think maybe Chud said to JR, "Hey do you mind flying him in to talk, I used to coach him." JR trying to show respect to his new coaches says "sure why not just know we are not signing anyone until the CBA is worked out."

I think that is very likely

If he's signed, I give him 3 games, then back to good ol' Rosario :lol:

We'd have to sign Rosario first.

bring him in and sign him to a fair 2 yr. deal w/ incentives. If we get 24 to 30 games out of him in the next two yrs we should be ecstatic. I just don't feel the locker room will be an issue and the younger TE's will be able to learn to get open. It's a win-win.
