He's had a case of really tough injuries lately in Cincy and one where I don't think he can contribute this year.
Danny Coale who was left for by DAL and was a 5th round pick this past April might be the better White guy WR to target IMHO anyway.
I actually wanted the Jets to draft Shipley at the time. He's a great little receiver that catches everything you throw at him, he's elusive after the catch and usually turns it upfield in a hurry. Not sure about the injuries but wouldn't mind seeing him in a Jets uniform this season.
Off Topic but congrats on Golson man, I've rooted for him to be the starter since the offseason (I think we had a convo about it), he should be great for you guys especially with the potential emergence of Goodman (who I think should have a great season).
I like Shipley, he wasn't bad as a rookie. He's not a difference maker, but if he can get open still, I'll take a shot on him. Chances are, the knee robbed him of the quickness he needed to get open, but he was still a good route runner with good hands in college.
