Jeremy Shockey "Very Interested" in Dolphins

Released last week by the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday, the former All-American from the University of Miami would give the Dolphins a tight end who, when healthy, is capable of stretching the middle of the field.

A 2002 first-round pick (14th overall) by the New York Giants, Shockey has 510 receptions for 5,688 yards and 33 touchdowns during his nine-year career.

Shockey, who turns 31 in August, has spent the last three seasons with the Saints, helping them a win in Super Bowl XLIV. Shockey was injured and did not play in the Giants' 17-14 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. New York traded Shockey the following off-season.
