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

    • 100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.  
    • It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
    • In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
