Awesome. At the very least, he's a stopgap; let's us focus on other positions of need.

 

Sign him. Worst that can happen is we cut him before the season because we change our minds.

 

Hope we can sign him to a decent deal.

 

Well if he does have an offer, even if it's lowball, he'll probably accept it. Having been released, he's eligible to sign now and if he does so, he has job security in the event of a lockout. Combine that with the perk of living and playing in Miami again, and I think he's as good as ours.

 

Shockey has won 2 super bowls though .... that can make a differance.

 

My thoughts exactly.

It almost makes me feel like this FO is maybe content picking where they are in the first round too if they ink Shockey because it helps fill a position of need, and still allows us to take a really talented player in the first round... say... Ingram.. :up:

However, that being said, it would also be nice to sign Shockey, trade down a bit, pick later in the first, then pick up a second as well to still fill TE, but give us even more options with the draft too.

Shockey's best years are behind him I'd say, but he's still better than anything we have at TE IMO, so its a win win for us really.

 

Yes know sign the man !

 

Shockey is an upgrade over what we have when he's healthy, just about any warm body would be. But he's not the seam buster that I think we need & I doubt he'd beat out Fasano or take kindly to not not starting. JMO.

 

So he didn't trip over and brake an arm during a physical?

 

As long as it's a $2-3 million deal, I think it's a no brainer. All you're doing is taking an early opportunity to scratch a position off the Draft board, knowing you have limited picks and a lot of holes to fill.

 

agreed, the question for me is $$$$$ .... not sure i'd go higher than 2 MIL though .... maybe 1 MIL bonus IF he lasts the entire season.

 

I think this could go either way. Could be a great signing or could turn out to be a bust. Let's hope he plays like he has something to prove.....that is if we end up signing of course

 

Exactly! This team has plenty of larger needs anyway. Three FA Rb's, and an offensive line that's not settled. A KR/PR, the need for two Qb's, some speed at wideout, and maybe another pass rusher. With how many picks? lol

 

I Agree, I havent given up On Korey Sheets Yet, I Sure Hope he didnt lose any speed while on IR, He could be very productive for us as a Change of Pace Back and Returner

 

Yeah we could see them sign a couple of positions and Running back would be a good idea so they don't need to waste two picks in the draft.

 

Bring him on board it won't hurt.
After he get's injured in game 9,Fasano's fantasy value will soar.

(or is that sour or sore?)

 

If we do sign him, I think Fasano is still the starter, but Shockey would give us more talented depth when healthy than we've had in a while.

 

This would have been awesome 5 years ago.
Now....meh.

 

This is a move in the right direction. Hopefully with him wanting to return to south Fla anyway the price will be right. I think we have finally made a move that we can be proud of. Shockey is a great player.

 

I could certainly be wrong here, but i think that Shockey will be used as the #2 tight end. I am a little surprised so many ppl are looking at him as the starter. Granted he is a big name and is used to starting, Fasano is younger, the FO seems to like him, and they just extended him. I see shockey being the downfield pass catching guy that david martin used to be. I think Fasano + Shockey in double TE sets is a win win for the phins. . . knowing this FO he is coming in to "compete" and will most likely wind up being the #2 guy - which is a GREAT move imo.

 

I wouldnt mind, low risk, highreward.

 

Sign him right away. Fasano is too inconsistent to be depended on to be our full-time starter at TE. But as a #2 he'd be fine. Shockey would open up this offense in ways that would benefit all aspects of it. Whoever our QB is going to be is going to need a valuable safety net and Jeremy fills that role.

 

I had inside linebacker and Tight end being accounted for thru free agency, I wanted Owen Daniels and Chad Greenway..Greenway was tagged, I'll take the Shockster.

 

Well you have to figure we should know by the end of the day if he'll be a Dolphin. Gotta figure Drew already has it ready to sign and submit if negotiations continue to go as poorly as they are before the midnight hour.

 

I just can't believe he'd go to Carolina over Miami. There's a lot of perks for taking the hometown discount especially in South Beach.

 

panthers may be offering him a starting job, we may not.

 

Midnight hour is tomorrow night, not tonight. CBA Expires March 4th not the 3rd.
