Mike Martz's offense never previously featured a tight end much in the passing game and after a season of trying to do so with Greg Olsen the Bears have scrapped that plan.

Rumors circulated before the 2010 draft the tight end would be traded and that finally happened Thursday, less than 24 hours after agent Drew Rosenhaus announced in a mass email to NFL executives that he had received permission from the Bears to seek a trade for his client, a move a source said infuriated the Bears.

Id be pissed too if my team traded away a probowl caliber TE for a 3rd round pick. We have the best TE duo in the league! Assuming shockey stays healthy.

NE is pretty damned good. Of course they could be considered hybrid WR/TE's.

i have to imagine that barnidge is part of the plan for the future... he's athletic and was a great receiving threat in college. i'm sure chud and rivera see the potential there

i'm sure the thought process was that shockey could come in and help show these young guys what a real receiving threat is supposed to look like in the NFL at the TE position, but olsen was just too good to pass up

now, shockey can play for a year and hopefully be in barnidge's ear the whole time... take his money and run, and next year we can have olsen and barnidge as our duo

olsen + barnidge = young and tons of potential
