SAINTS SQUEEZING GIANTS, EAGLES?
Posted by Mike Florio on April 26, 2008, 7:48 a.m.
The New Orleans Saints and their second-round pick (No. 40 overall) in this weekend’s draft have long been linked to the Giants and their double-fisted Super Bowl suite drinker Jeremy Shocker.

But now the Saints and that same second-round pick are linked to the Eagles and their obsolete cornerback Lito Sheppard, who surely won’t be kept around given the arrival of Asante Samuel.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Saints are one of the five teams chasing Sheppard. Others include the Bucs and the Rams. However, the Rams are reluctant to give up their second-round pick, which is No. 33 overall.

As to the Saints, they can’t trade the same pick twice (duh), so what are they up to? Our guess is that they’re trying to play two NFC East rivals against each other, hoping that one of them takes the Saints’ second-rounder in order to prevent the other from getting it.

Or maybe, as a reader suggested, the Saints are merely the straw man in a three-way trade. Maybe they’ll get Sheppard with that second-round pick and then trade him straight up to the Giants for Shockey

Yea, the Eagles may not want to deal Shephard to the Giants. If that the case and we are doing the Giants dirty work, we want more than Shockey, right? LOL
