Awesome!

I like Shipp but this is a surprise.

 

[Gambit]

Good deal. Shipp works really hard and is great in his role.

 

[MadCardDisease]

Depends on how much he signed for before I can get excited. I think he did fine as a back up last year and for the right price is worth it.

Did I just hear K9's head explode?

 

[CardinalChris]

I am indifferent, except for the 3 year part. That seems awfully long.

 

[dogpoo32]

Shipp is the kind of guy you can get behind. Good for him and the team.

 

[stewdog1]

I wonder if JJ gets traded on draft day.

 

[red desert]

Great signing. Shipp will be crucial to our success this season.

 

[Totally_Red]

Good signing! One less hole to fill. I, for one, was not comfortable with J.J. as the backup.

 

[Shogun]

Good news.

 

[PJ1]

I like Shipp and always will. Glad we signed him.

The Cards don't trade players...they cut them.

Seriously, I am not sure JJ would have any trade value.

[Redheart]

I like this, very much.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Congratulations to Shipp. He is a fine backup RB.

 

[kerouac9]

Where are all the people who said that he'd be offered a starting job with another franchise?

 

[40yearfan]

Tempe, AZ -- The Arizona Cardinals Football Club announced that running back Marcell Shipp and safety/special teams standout Hanik Milligan have both agreed to terms on three-year contracts to remain with the organization. In accordance with club policy, terms were not disclosed.

Shipp (5-foot-11, 232 pounds) has appeared in 71 games (29 starts) with 590 carries for 2,156 yards and 10 touchdowns over the past six seasons with the Cardinals after originally signing as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Massachusetts in 2001. He also has 109 receptions for 912 yards and three touchdowns receiving during his tenure in Arizona.

Last season, Shipp appeared in 15 games for the Cardinals, carrying the ball 17 times for 41 yards and four touchdowns as a backup to Edgerrin James. He scored a career-high three rushing touchdowns against the St. Louis Rams on Dec. 3 despite carrying the ball only seven times in the game.

Milligan (6-3, 200) appeared in all 16 games in 2006 for the Cardinals after being claimed off of waivers from the San Diego Chargers on Sept. 3. He finished the season second on the team (to Aaron Francisco) with 22 special teams tackles.

Originally a sixth-round pick (No. 188 overall) by the Chargers in 2003 out of Houston, Milligan was with San Diego for three seasons, including in 2005 when he was named to the Pro Bowl as a special teams needs player after leading the Chargers with 21 special teams tackles. [/FONT]

Who cares?

I for one am glad he's still a Card.

Who said that? Please find it?

 

[seesred]

I would love to see Marcel get 10 touches a game, that would lighten the load on the Edge. He is a strong guy and still young enough with a great attitude, glad he is back.

Shipp is the ultimate team player. I am estatic we re-signed him. I ahve been waiting for a coach to treat him right the way he should have been treated. Congrats Marcell you're a true class act.
