Wouldnt be a shock if we did take a look, I remember a few articles the year he was drafted about how much we liked him. That said, he is still having knee issues. Might not be any help this year at all.
Jordan Shipley put on waivers by Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Friday that wide receiver Jordan Shipley has been placed on waivers.
A third-round draft 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 anterior cruciate ligament 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.
Shipley, 26, has two seasons at league minimum base salaries remaining on his rookie contract. Despite his injury history, his cheap contract may prompt a team looking for help in the slot to place a waiver claim on him. The Dallas Cowboys could be a possibility for the Temple, Texas native, as could the Jacksonville Jaguars, where former Bengals offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski is running the offense.
In addition to Shipley, the Bengals have waived first-year kicker Thomas Weber.

Yep, that's him. He was pretty reasonable about everything save for Jones.
