Quote:The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Friday that wide receiver Jordan Shipley has been placed on waivers. A third-round pick (No. 84 overall) out of Texas in 2010, Shipley had an impressive rookie season, catching 52 passes for 600 yards and three touchdowns as the No. 3 receiver in a group headlined by Chad Johnson and Terrell Owens. In 2011, Shipley had four receptions for 14 yards before tearing the ACL in his left knee in Week 2. Shipley was limited in drills during the offseason, but was cleared to participate at the start of camp and had one reception for four yards in two preseason games. Following last night's preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer observed that Shipley's knee wrapped in ice and suggested the leg wasn't responding the way Shipley and the Bengals had hoped.

That sucks for Shipley.

Injury must still be pretty seriously effecting his play on the field for them to cut him. He was so good his first season.

My niece goes to a majority of the TC's and said he's been struggling this year.

If only we could just get him, Laurent Robinson and Peerless Price back... oops sorry, wrong board.

I didn't post this with hopes of the Falcons signing him. Just think it's interesting that the guy who so many people were high on in his rookie year was cut.

I agree. I can tolerate Swift. FFS70 talks down to everyone like they are a bunch of dumb dogs! That jackass don't know shit.

...which is saying something!

Sometimes I feel like changing my name to FFS66, since a) it is true and b) it might annoy him.

I wish I could remember the first Falcons home game. I was there, my dad took me but I was only 6 months old and I was also drinking. Drinking formula but drinking nevertheless. And that's how a tradition was born.

I hope you don't think I was mocking you or anything, if so I apologize, I was only targeting the dumbasses on the official board.
