Shockey is a panther

[Highlandfire]

Ok what is the problem? Has he been a mouth and a dumb ass some, sure, but the guy can play better all around ball than anyone on this roster at TE. What is the harm in a 2 year deal or so as we develop someone?

[Highlandfire]

hmmm...never played a full season, but he did play 15 games in '02, 04, 05, and '06.

worth noting that he has played 7 more games than D-Will the last two years and he has only missed more than 3 games in a season twice. i guess that's encouraging.

i hope he stays healthy. he's a pretty decent TE when he's in the game, though. he'll be more of a focal point of the offense than he was at NY and NO. should have pretty decent numbers. he's better than what we have right now (of course that isn't saying much).

Trade for Palmer. Draft the best DT at the #4 pick and we've got a pretty decent team

i don't know why i'm not nearly as concerned about DT as everyone else. i just look at what Rivera did with the 6th round scrub starting in SD and i think we'll be fine without drafting one first overall. i think we should focus on the offense where we ranked last, and let Rivera improve the defense with coaching.

Yeah and this team could use some of his swagger...

Now give me McNabb and Andre Carter and we're in business...

Otah, Stewart, Morgan, Drew Carter, etc. We are all about drafting or re-signing players not only with injury histories, but who are injured. It is our MO. 1 year deal, a year that might not happen. Sure a physical is involved.

I believe he passed a physical for Miami before he cam here. He is above being physically fit. It's his foot injury that matters.

PFT says the contract is for 2 years. Accurate?

[ncmonzta]

Rivera wasnt playing around about getting a TE. Hurney better not think his job is done we still need to sign more guys once this CBA is done

Gantt says one...

Not according to gantt. He says 1 yr deal. Take a look @ earlier posts.

If you consider shockey a big time te you obviously haven't been watching football for the last 3 or 4 years.he hasn't played a full season in like 2 years.if he can stay healthy decent signing.

Now give me McNabb and Andre Carter and we're in business...

Carter I would like but Mcnabb most likly will not happen. Skins are wanting a 1st or 2nd pick for him I think. I doubt the panthers would give up their 1st round pick for a 34 year old man.

I certainly don't hate the addition. I'm not super stoked, but I'm not unhappy.

Really I'm just happy the FO is clearly making moves to make us a stronger team NOW...err, immediately following the lockout.
