Shockey to the Panthers

Panthers agreed to terms with TE Jeremy Shockey on a one-year contract.

Shockey is choosing Carolina over Miami. Coach Ron Rivera made it clear in January that he would target a "do-it-all" tight end after he and new coordinator Rob Chudzinski watched Antonio Gates every day in practice. Chud has a history of utilizing tight ends heavily, and he coached Shockey at Miami University a decade ago. Shockey will play starter's snaps, but he's not going to be a recommended fantasy pick. He's lost more than a step after the catch, and the Panthers have major QB issues.

Good luck to him. Whether Carolina or Miami, not exactly the best quarterback situations to rebuild his market value.
