Mike Martz's offense never previously featured a tight end much in the passing game and after a season of trying to do so with Greg Olsen the Bears have scrapped that plan.

Rumors circulated before the 2010 draft the tight end would be traded and that finally happened Thursday, less than 24 hours after agent Drew Rosenhaus announced in a mass email to NFL executives that he had received permission from the Bears to seek a trade for his client, a move a source said infuriated the Bears.

Id be pissed too if my team traded away a probowl caliber TE for a 3rd round pick. We have the best TE duo in the league! Assuming shockey stays healthy.

NE is pretty damned good. Of course they could be considered hybrid WR/TE's.

i have to imagine that barnidge is part of the plan for the future... he's athletic and was a great receiving threat in college. i'm sure chud and rivera see the potential there

i'm sure the thought process was that shockey could come in and help show these young guys what a real receiving threat is supposed to look like in the NFL at the TE position, but olsen was just too good to pass up

now, shockey can play for a year and hopefully be in barnidge's ear the whole time... take his money and run, and next year we can have olsen and barnidge as our duo

olsen + barnidge = young and tons of potential

      I have started doing my research on these draft picks and I like this guy. But I'm am iffy on taking a TE in the first if isnt a flat out generational guy more importantly on this team where it's questionable we get the necessary impact out of him. I say if a top defensive guy at their position falls to 19th you jump on it and push this defense to an elite unit. The offense will do their part.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB. but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)
