The Carolina Panthers have signed 30-year old TE Jeremy Shockey to a 1-year deal.  Shockey played in 13 games for the Saints last season and he caught 41 passes for 408 yards (10.0 avg) with 3 TD grabs.  In his first 9 years in the NFL, Shockey has played in 121 games in which he has caught 510 passes for 5,688 yards (11.2 avg) with 33 TD grabs.  Shockey will give whoever is playing QB for the Panthers something they didn’t have last year, a very reliable target over the middle.  This is a really good first addition for 2011 for the Carolina Panthers.
