4ever19, as a philadelphia eagles fan I assure you Schockey was more than a good player, he was a beast. Not to many guys were lining up to get in front of him. He was like a runaway frieght train before injuries got to him. There’s a difference between not liking a guy and him not being any good.

The fact that the Panthers don’t want him back after contributing to Newtons’ rookie success tells you everything you need to know about Shockey.

The Panthers were very pleased with Shockey. He was mainly the check-down TE while Greg Olsen went on deeper patterns, and he excelled. He caused no trouble and brought a healthy level of nastiness to his play. We didn’t re-sign him because the balls he caught last year will be thrown to Mike Tolbert, who is younger and cheaper. Any team that has a TE who plays more like a WR, and needs another TE to be the check-down guy, Shockey can fill that role. He still has tread left. I’m a bit sad he’s not still with the Panthers, but I understand why.

I really believe this is going to be Celek’s pro bowl year and Harbor will play strong as the backup

Not bringing in Jeremy Schockey is the best thing any organization can do if it wants to get better. Never understood why anyone thought he was a good player and now that he is dinged up and old, there is even less reason to want him around.

Uh oh these could b the last pieces of a budding dynasty, could last years dream team beat the original? If Vick win 6 games and promises to study his play book could be time for another contract

I think a few teams have liked Shiancoe, its the money he is willing to accept that has been the holdup

It sounds like they really liked Shiancoe. From what has been reported his workout was very impressive.

What a shame, that was a match made in heaven.

Shockey could have declined. He’s probably accumulated a little bit of coin over the last 10-11 years in the league (and at the U).
