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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
