Contract numbers for Shockey


BountyHunter

Recommended Posts

THe point is VY said he is elite and he laughs at those types of things (incentive based contracts, competing for the starting job, etc) because for lack of a better word he is already great and an icon.

Even though every GM in football said they don't want him, he still laughed at being a backup. No way he would sign that deal was my point. He's still a headcase and thinks he's a better football player than BCG is a poster. Both pretty outrageous, both headcases.

How in the hell can a thread about Shockey's contract turn into a pissing match about whether a numb skull like VY should be a Panther.

Jeez guys haven't you talked about this enough? This same crap is on almost every page of this forum.

You don't need to hijack a thread just to rehash this garbage. Do you?

agreed. the dolphins must not have offered him a contract.

They didn't. - http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nfl/981/jeremy-shockey

It's not THAT great of a deal (Panther wise). He was scheduled to make $4.2 mil base with the Saints, so he was cut. - http://www.neworleansprofootball.com/2011/02/te-shockey-4-million-salary-cut.html

PFT/Rotoworld says "Jeremy Shockey's one-year contract with the Panthers has a maximum value of $3,812,500.It comes in the form of a $3 million salary and $812,500 roster bonus for making the Week 1 roster. $1 million of Shockey's salary is guaranteed, meaning the Panthers could cut him before the season and "only" have blown $1 million. We're betting he'll make the team, meaning Shockey would receive all the money. It still doesn't seem like an especially good investment for Carolina." - http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/981/jeremy-shockey

We have cap room and it's a one year deal, so I could really care less that we may have paid over market value for a tight end that represents a substantial upgrade. I'm more excited by the fact that we at least consider the position a priority under Rivera's watch. No more committee of third string guys.

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
