Shockey Not Likely To Come Back To Carolina

[TylerDurden]

Joe Person ‏ @josephperson

Drew Rosenhaus says he's talking w/ #Panthers about Jeremy Shockey, but doubts the free agent TE will be back in CLT. http://blogs.charlotte.com/panthers/

We don't have any money to pay him anyways, But I like to see what Barnidge is capable of in Chud's system...

Ya never know....Chad Johnson took a 2 million dollar pay cut to stay with the Pats, if the Panthers can talk enough players to do the same.

Let's see what Barnidge can do before we judge his departure.

Barnidge can be good....

There's literally no shred of evidence or production for me to base that assumption on though.

I take everything coming out with a grain of salt. Last night he was saying Shockey could come back. This is just agent talk. I wouldn't expect anything either way until it actually happens.

Eh, who cares about TEs in a scheme where TE play is HUGE. Screw defense as well....

What team in the NFL can compare on paper to our backfield!? Yahtzee mofos!

[carp24000]

I dont listen to Joe Person...I think he just reported a few hours ago that Julius Peppers is now a Bear. This guys is garbage.

[TheRed]

This is coming from his agent. Have any of you guys heard about teams beating his door down to sign him? Exactly. He is simply trying to drum up some doubt to get more $ for his client, what else would an agent do..

Shockey must be asking for too much, Rosenhaus works really well with us a lot of our players are represented by him including Jon Beason.

I think signing Tolbert before making sure that we can bring Shockey back is already a blunder.

This says a lot about our confidence in re-signing Stewart that we have to add more running backs than make sure Cam's favorite position to pass to isn't properly addressed. We go all out one season to bring in the top quarterback prospect, but then can't follow up by re-signing a productive, relatively inexpensive target just one season later. Kinda half-assed effort to improve the passing game if you ask me. This offseason, modest or not, isn't looking good. The draft can't come soon enough.

What's with the panic it's only march.

It's not like we have to sign shockey by the end of the week or he's gone forever.

Well we can't resign Stewart....he isn't going to play for cheap and pass on his one big payday contract. The deals Marty gave hurt this team. You can argue they have mishandled things ever since they let Fox stay for a lame duck season.

Last offseason was more about over correcting a rep they earned while putting together a pointless year in 2010.

That's okay. I happen to agree. So on that basis, totally baseless assumptions are excellent. B)
