Jaguars.com believes Jordan Shipley will likely be the team's slot receiver this season.
Shipley was signed off the street prior to Week 12 last season, and he immediately contributed by catching 23 passes for 244 yards and one touchdown in six games with Chad Henne tossing him the ball. He'll have to earn it, but he'll be flanked by Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts. Mar 28 - 3:04 PM

Jaguars re-signed WR Jordan Shipley to a two-year, $1.315 million contract.

Shipley's status had been murky, but his two-year deal has finally been confirmed. Team observers were surprised when Shipley wasn't tendered a contract as a restricted free agent, but the Jags got him back at half the price of the $1.32 million low tender. The former third-round pick has proven to be a low-impact player, but will likely get a chance to lock-down slot duties in camp.

Jaguars declined to tender restricted free agents DE George Selvie, FB Brock Bolen, LB Kyle Bosworth, TE Zach Potter, C John Estes, and WR Jordan Shipley, making them all unrestricted free agents.

The Florida Times Union had reported the Jaguars would likely tender Shipley and Potter, but the paper clearly has no read on new GM David Caldwell's intentions. Shipley, 27, is the biggest name of the group and could generate some interest in the second or third waves of free agency as a slot receiver.
Mar 8 - 4:35 PM

The Jaguars are expected to tender an offer to restricted free agent WR Jordan Shipley.

Shipley was signed as a free agent in Week 12 last season, and he went on to catch 23 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown in six games. He'll be a candidate for the slot role if Laurent Robinson (concussions) isn't healthy.
Mar 6 - 10:40 PM

Jaguars WR Jordan Shipley caught seven balls for 51 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 17 loss to Tennessee.

Signed in late November off the street, 27-year-old Shipley wound up appearing in six games with Jacksonville, securing 23 passes for 244 yards and the one score. Early-career knee woes sapped Shipley's value around the league at the time, but he bounced back late this season to show he's healthy again and can be a productive slot receiver. Shipley is an exclusive rights free agent in 2013, so he can be cheaply retained to compete for a roster spot in next year's training camp.

Jordan Shipley caught five passes for a team-high 82 yards in Jacksonville's Week 16 loss to the Patriots.

Shipley was targeted ten times on the afternoon, but he dropped a couple of catch-able balls late in the game that could have provided an even better-looking stat line. Shipley will handle slot duties again in Week 17 versus the Titans, and as an exclusive rights free agent after the season, he'll look to make a lasting impression.

Jaguars signed WR Jordan Shipley.

FB Will Ta'ufo'ou was waived in a corresponding move. Shipley will give the Jags an alternative to Aaron Ross on punt returns but is unlikely to contribute on offense.

The Texans worked out free agent WR Jordan Shipley.

Houston also worked out free agent QB Stephen McGee. It's Shipley's first known workout since being waived by the Bucs in September. The Texans have little veteran depth at receiver, but it's more likely they're considering Shipley for special teams.

Bucs waived WR/PR Jordan Shipley.

Shipley was re-signed a week ago to handle punt returns, but the leash proved to be short after losing a fumble at Dallas. Shipley hasn't been playing at the same game speed since tearing his ACL early last season.
Tue, Sep 25, 2012 06:43:00 PM

Bucs re-signed WR Jordan Shipley and released G Derek Hardman.

Shipley is back in because No. 1 slot receiver Preston Parker sustained a foot injury during Week 2. Shipley, who tore an ACL during Week 2 last season, was released at final cuts.
Tue, Sep 18, 2012 11:51:00 AM

Bucs waived or released WRs Jordan Shipley and Landon Cox, QB Brett Ratliff, DTs Frank Okam, Teryl White and Jordan Nix, S Sean Baker, LBs Rennie Curran and Jacob Cutrera, TEs Drake Dunsmore and Zack Pianalto, K Kai Forbath, OT Jermarcus Hardrick, RB Robert Hughes, FB Cody Johnson, C Moe Petrus, CB James Rogers, DL E.J. Wilson and OG Desmond Wynn.

Wynn has waived/injured. Shipley reportedly looked healthy, but arrived too late in camp to put real pressure on fellow slot WR Preston Parker. The Bucs were the only team to place a claim on Shipley when he was waived earlier this month, so there's no guarantee he'll find a new home before Week 1. Now 27, Ratliff is running out of time to take his first NFL snap.

The Bucs were the only team to place a waiver claim on WR Jordan Shipley.

Per reporter Adam Caplan, teams were "obviously concerned" with Shipley's ACL. Shipley was waived by the Bengals in part because "the knee was not responding." Shipley will not be a major threat to Preston Parker's slot duties in Tampa.
Tue, Aug 21, 2012 09:40:00 AM

Buccaneers claimed WR Jordan Shipley off waivers from the Bengals.

He only made it past four teams in the waivers process, which is based on 2011 won-loss records. Shipley was waived by the Bengals after not appearing to be fully healthy following his September 2011 ACL tear, but is still only two years removed from hauling in 52 catches for 600 yards and three touchdowns as a third-round rookie. Bucs slot WR Preston Parker drew some offseason hype, but has had a quiet camp. Shipley's arrival could be a sign new coach Greg Schiano is hoping for more. Of course, Shipley can't put heat on Parker if he's not healthy.

DallasCowboys.com reports the Cowboys did not place a waiver claim on former Bengals WR Jordan Shipley.

Writer Bryan Broaddus reported Saturday the Cowboys were "entertaining" such a move. Shipley is just two years removed from being a third-round pick and catching 52 passes as a rookie, but it's possible his medicals will scare off otherwise interested clubs.
Sat, Aug 18, 2012 06:05:00 PM

DallasCowboys.com "(gets) the feeling" the Cowboys are interested in former Bengals WR Jordan Shipley, who was waived on Friday.

Cowboys.com's Bryan Broaddus believes the team is "entertaining putting a claim" on the third-year slot receiver. The Cowboys have a logjam behind Dez Bryant and Miles Austin, with Andre Holmes, Danny Coale, Kevin Ogletree, and Cole Beasley all yet to run with No. 3 duties. Shipley landing in Big D would kill Coale's already limited deep-league PPR appeal.
