Saints release Shockey

Thanks for the ring shockey, hope he comes back at a cheaper rate cause the Saints had one of the best 3 headed monsters at TE in the league last year

Predictable cut, just didn't want to see it.. but i was already positioning the pillow's for the blow.

If he told New Orleans bye on face book. Think he thinks he is getting resigned?

RaginCajun83 · 02-22-2011, 05:15 PM

Just wondering who's going to match his intensity and swagger on offense now

Saintswrath · 02-22-2011, 05:17 PM

Only a crumb of a chance the team will resign him... i just hope Falcons don't sign him, they seem to lurk in our shadow's and want to be like us while kicking dirt up in our faces, like the Evil cousin no one likes.

sad to see him go, but it was inevitable. one of the best things that can be said about him is most who were worried about him coming on board can now admit they were wrong.

in the big picture of things the saints save 4.7 mil plus a 500k roster bonus with this cut. money we can use, hopefully, to keep pierre or moore around a little longer. at the very least it goes to drew, but we all know he isn't going anywhere.

Letting a mediocre LB go didn't bite us.

Losing his replacement to IR in preseason is what bit us.

I think more what he meant is that Fujita's insight was crucial in the game against Cleveland. What he told them about Brees's tendencies led to that defense dismantling our offense. It most certainly bit us in the ass. We were a revolving door at OLB anyways. At least Fujita was solid and stayed on the field. Not nearly as much of a liability as Shanle was this season.

EDIT: I sure am gonna miss Shockey though

Really sorry to see him go! Had my doubts about him when he first came to the Saints and also the reputation he supposedly carried with him, but have to admit he became one of my favourite players on the Saints team.

Good luck to you JS and thanks for everything you did for this team. I will always think of you as a Saint, wherever you go to!
