Shockey

Just wanted to make a thread saying hats off to you sir.

Just watching the texans game, and the season, he has been pumped up, running his mouth and just overall getting this team pumped up. We haven't had a player like that in a long time and I personally hope we resign him and keep him here for a while.

When him and Smitty were pumping each other up on the field it made me think he'll be here to see this team develop into a monster. I think he's said something along those lines also not too long ago.

We have probably the most charismatic bunch of guys in the league with DeAngelo, Smitty, Shockey, Kalil, & Newton.

I hated him but now I feel different. I think he has more compassion for the game for Olsen. The only problem with Shockey is that he is near the end of his career. I know Tight ends can play for a long time so I could see Shockey around for 4 more years.

He will probably resign. I think he likes it here and he will probably get the most out of his career by staying here I mean he has his college coach as the offensive coordinator and very few systems use tight ends as much as we do.

With Olsen on the team and the extension for Barnidge, I have a feeling Shockey will not be back.

I love what he brought this year. But, this will be his last contract and someone is likely to pay him more after this season.

However, I think Barnidge could be nasrty as a pass catching TE in this offense.

I agree. I for one like that type of attitude, much like what you get from Steve Smith. We'd be crazy not to resign him. We'd probably let Bardrige go. No points for spelling.

    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
    • Not a chance the SEC could compete with the NFL.  In the large cities that are not in the Southeast, (LA, NYC, Chicago, SF) College football is an afterthought.
