Say It Ain't So!!! Shockey Out?

[oleheat]

There are reports swirling that the Saints have cut Jeremy Shockey....

Fox analyst Jay Glazer is saying this, but so far local outlets have yet to confirm....

it's confirmed. he's gone. i liked shockey, but he's always hurt.

 

[Storm]

Injuries and the fact that he was due $4 million next year seems to be the reason. Love the guys attitude on the field!

Meh..... the Rookie showed him up at the end of the year

The rookie showed him up, but he was my favorite player damn it!!!

 

[S&W4ME]

He could always resign but he's gonna have to take a BIG paycut

 

[smith625]

He has never impressed me, his claim to fame is always some damn injury. Good player but like Bush, very delicate.

Billy Miller is out, too. Shock was trying to get $6 million (with incentives) but mgmt wasn't going for it. Graham is good, but he is a rookie who only played a year of college ball-plus he was on the injured list at the end of the season. You can't cut 2 vet TEs and expect not to have a bad time. They should have kept Shock and Miller, but the cap prevented it. If it's finances, keep Miller and Graham and then work both.

I have a feeling Bush is next on the chopping block if he wont take a pay cut.

I'm glad he's gone, now my wife will quite watching football with me.

I love Shockey when he's healthy but he's just too injury prone. If they pick up a good blocking tight end to go along with Graham they'll be fine. Hopefully they'll send Bush packing and use all the money they're saving to get a 1st rate running back.

Speedracer, that is pretty funny LMAO at that one!!!! I have some nieces that watch just to see him....something else these womenfolk!!

 

[Hitman]

I'm not worried. We got a DEEP Depth Chart chalk full of talent.

Looks like Shockey is stayin in the NFC South
