With Shockey Gone

[rmoneyg35]

I have faith in Barnidge. I still wouldn't mind a TE in the late rounds or a FA TE but I believe Barnidge has a big future with Chud here and I think the front office agrees because they extended Barnidge two years while he was on IR.

I'm hopeful for Barnidge to be a solid player. I wouldn't put any money on it, of course - but I do think he'll turn out ok.

There's that voice in the back of my head saying that maybe he looked good only because of the crap Tight Ends we'd had during the Fox years.

Shockey is a must re-sign! Not sure why we don't cut Ben Hartsock?

Because he is your blocking TE and FB. You need that on this team.

Since olsen and shockey were added to the roster last year our tight end play has been better than ever before. at least since wesley walls

Has more to do with the offense that we ran last year.

Don't get me wrong, I like Shockey. I woudl like to have him back....but not at $4M per season.

His stats last year were not world beater....they were average.

37 catches for 450 yards....4 TD's.

Shockey good influence on attitude, but wouldn't mind having someone more athletic and fast in that role.
