Contract numbers for Shockey

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
