Shockey sure was key to Jersey sales...

And if you ask teammates, they'll tell you he contributed more than his stat lines suggested...

I knew was coming but I thought he would last aleast one more year but the part of the business. We have over 30 free agents to sign back and we have to free money up from were ever we can.

Sorry to see him go he has contributed to the team

This is going to kill my youngest daughter. She loves Jeremy. When I went to buy her first jersey; she wanted Jeremy's. I still haven't got the heart to tell her.

I hate this happened and I will miss him. However, if it is what is best for the team.....that reduces the sting.

Best of luck to you Jeremy. You will always be a Saint.

He could be signed again. Gonna miss him though...

Gotta free up some dough for Brees.

Had to tell my daughter and she was sooo upset. Hated Shockey when he played for the Giants and it was the hardest Saints jersey I ever bought when she wanted one at the beginning of the 2009 season. Have to admit that I grew to love that guy more than most on the team. Loved his attitude and the spirit that he bought to his teammates. I also had the opportunity to hang out with him on Bourbon the night after winning the Super Bowl and he was a blast! :beer: Gonna miss him so much, but maybe, just maybe the Saints will resign him so that he can have one more year with Jimmy and teach him to bring the attitude. He was a perfect fit for New Orleans.... Thanks for all you did Shockey!:cool:

Well, I've been out of pocket, and I just found out about an hour ago. I'm pissed!! I know it's part of football...but damn!! He quickly became one of my favorite Saints players. Like Sapper and Niteadept, he was one of my little girls favorite players, behind Brees of coarse. She will be crushed. I think our magical season of 2009 would not have been complete if not for his leadership and winning attitude. Thanks you Jeremy for helping to make long suffering Saints fans dreams come true. You will always be a Saint in my book. You will be missed.

That's what I'm saying! I hope he comes back. If not Best of Luck to you!
Who Dat !!

hate to hear it, not surprised, would love if he resigns for less and plays in as the second TE, he would be less likely to get hurt, extend his career, and stay a Saint, not likely though
