Should we resign Jeremy Shockey?

I found an article from a website called footballauthority.com Here is the link

It pretty much says that Shockey may not be available to us if he wants a multi-year deal and that we might decide to draft a TE if he doesn't resign. I also didn't know that we paid him 3.2 million to sign with us, I honestly thought it was a vet min or maybe about a million dollar contract. The article also says that the Tight Ends helped Cam out a lot and that we have no #2 if Shockey leaves. They say Hartsock is a blocker which I agree and Barnidge has only caught 12 passes. I do think Barnidge has a lot of potential with our offensive coordinators appreciation with tight ends I mean does anyone remember how Barnidge can make the big plays?

Anyways since news is kinda slow right now why not discuss what you think about the Shockey Situation?

I say re-sign him if we can get a 1 year deal for a good price otherwise give Barnidge a chance. Worst case scenario is that he is an average TE so we won't loose too much and I don't think we should draft a TE unless its in the late rounds because we need to fix our defense. I don't think a number 2 tight end is going to be what is the difference between us being a winning and a loosing team.

If he wants a multi-year deal no way, too injury prone for that.

I don't think hes that injury prone I mean yes he has missed about 3 games every season but he plays hard and Tight ends can last a long time look at Gonzo.

in the past 10 years he has only had one season where he missed more than 5 games and that was his second season. then he played 15 games the next three seasons then 14 games then he switched to NO where he only played 12 games then 13,13 and then played 15 here. I don't know if he sat out any of the last games of the season on years he played for a play off team. I must say not too bad for a physical TE that takes a lot of hard hits.

No question... I'd give him a two-year deal in a heart beat. In a lot of ways he out played Olsen this season.

I agree. It seemed that Olsen dropped off the last few games. Maybe he was playing injured but in the last 5 games he had only 5 catches for 68 yds. and 1 td. the last three games he only had 2 catches for 15 yards. WTF happened to him? If he wants to be the #1 TE on the team then he can't play like that. I have a feeling that we will have another TE if Barnidge doesn't work out next season.

I believe I was the first here to make a thread saying we should re-sign him early in the season... From everything that I've gathered from what Rivera has said, and IIRC, what JR said about Shock as a teammate/leader, then, I believe we should and will re-sign him.

I believe that we need to have great leaders to help lead our young team when they need it. I think a good mix of young talent and veteran leadership can pay off big. Look at teams like the Packers last year they had a lot of young talent but had a few good leaders like Driver, Woodson, Clifton, Ect. We can be that team if we can play our cards right.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother, I don't want to drop the amount of rage I have about BY and the fuging Pickett signing....when murray was free, tua was free, lance was about the same cost. But you know during practice when other teammates see and hear the passing for any of them compared to BY, he may cry right then.... It does feel like Dan and Tillis were told "make BY work, by any means". You recall the first plan was to drop 163 million on OGs to protect the little fellow.......then drafting WRs and they even signed his buddy WR this FA period..... I just go back to Dan Morgan wanting instill competition throughout the roster and T-H-A-T is your QB room ??? bloody hell, what a joke and disrespect to the whole roster outside that group....

      Id drop this in here- I fully believe nearly ALLL the Tmac hate leading up to the draft came from the Panthers..... There was plenty and it was believable, cause many did just that. There was huge questions and about 85% of the huddle took the cheese hate.  I do have this too- Banks has a broken feet and a history of feet/ankle issues. If he didn't, 19 would have been fair landing spot. Of course, but Prince spoke highly of him in a Twitter post....former teammates and all, but he still made the post and I haven't seen other players prince did so for.... Maybe the 51st on banks, but maaaaaannnn big men with broken feet broken its feels like it never ends well. I mean after brain, spine, I think Feet are the career killer leader.  Draft DL feels weak in every way.    Last morsel- there's a weak rumor of Panthers trading for DT Payne out on the vine....(his price I feel kills it, but new contract solves that for trades)....

      If we go all in and sell out with Bryce as our QB, it will even more entrench the idea that Tepper is at minimum running the QB room for me. Now i could be wrong and Dan really is that confident in Bryce all by himself, but nothing this team has done in the past 3 offseasons leads me to believe that there hasnt been some noise from big T. He's admitted that he walks through the office making his opinion known. To me, Bryce's output has just not generated that kind of confidence that we are playoff worthy other than against the Rams. Against the SB champs, just damn.
