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.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.

      AJ Green is who I think of as well; the body control, fluidity of movement, hands catcher, always high pointing the ball with the occasional insane/acrobatic type of grab, etc
