Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
Eh gotta wonder why they'd be willing just to let him go when they already opted to not try to keep Jerome Simpson. Red flag.

Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
Any info on why? He was a decent slot WR i always thought.

Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
Probably just no room and figured they would let him try and catch on with some other team.
Armon Binns, Brandon Tate, Marvin Jones, and Mohammed Sanu are all jockying for the #2 receiver spot. Andrew Hawkins is their slot guy and they also have Vidal Hazleton, Ryan Whalen and two other rookie receivers.
There was just no way he was going to beat out any of those.
I also read that his knee is still bothering him.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
I thought they put him on waivers because he tore his ACL or something. If it's the case, I wouldn't mind picking him off waivers, and IRing him so he can compete for a job next season. The guy has talent.

Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
It is indeed because of his ACL. He hurt it in Week 2 of last season and apparently it's still bothering him.

Love love love Shipley!
Tough as nails and a great route runner. Love to see the Ravens hide him away for a year.

Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
For the life of me I don't know why fans love players like this (?) A 3rd round draft choice (and we know how many of them end up) for the Bengals in 2010.
After a good rookie season in Cincy (3 TDs/52 recpts for 11.5 yds per catch), he followed that up with an injury season (0 TDs, 4 recpts/3.5 yds per catch).
I would not like for the Ravens to claim/IR this guy when we have WRs of our own to deal with... Bc

Re: Bengals cut WR Jordan Shipley.
Shipley could be like Stokley a very good route runner and possession pass catcher and LaQuan like Travis Taylor great speed and an occasional highlight reception but more drops than highlights. I am hoping that LaQuan is more consistent than what he showed Friday night. So many wide receivers have come and gone. I wouldn't even be thinking about Shipley if there weren't still many question marks about the Ravens' wide receivers!
