Jeremy Shockey

from the tp............

AROUND THE LEAGUE: League sources indicate the Saints' pursuit of Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey did not end when a draft-day deal between the clubs could not be reached. Coach Sean Payton believes Shockey is a perfect fit for the Saints' offense, and he still desperately wants the player to be wearing a black-and-gold uniform this season. Shockey has informed the Giants of his unhappiness, and apparently unwillingness, to play again in New York. Don't be surprised if the trade is finalized in the coming weeks. According to New York's Newsday, Shockey has four years remaining on his five-year, $26.3 million contract extension, including $1.9 million due this season. . . .

I wish this would go away. The Giants made it to the Superbowl without the distraction of Shockey last year, so I figure we don't need his drama or paycheck either. He has been inconsistent at best and gets hurt alot, why would we want him again?

Because the guy is a ProBowl player and he would add so much to our offense. His contract is cost/player friendly, and if you truly want to win a Superbowl, you need more players like Shockey to pull it off.

i agree....plus with his injury he would fit right in with our system lol....the giants werent better without him....the rest of their offense just had to step up cuz they knew shockey couldnt play....they didnt use him the right way in their offense ne way so he couldnt get to his full potential....shockey is a tight end that could make our offense better instantly...he would take a spy off reggie and i think he would quickly find himself in a position to be drews favorite target in our short pass offense....we run it better than ne body and with shockey it will only get better

If you think that Shockey is going to be happy being traded and keeping his current contract, then I have some lovely beachfront property in Kansas that I'd like to put up for sale.

As for winning the SB, Shockey has been a Giant for many years. Yet the year they win the SB, he didn't play.

Care to explain?

shockey will be happy because we will use him the way his talent suggests....he will be used immediately to open up our passing....the giants cant use his talent because they dont know how....while every team has some sort of short passing offense....its the saints that use it as their primary offense....shockey would thrive on this offense as he always has....shockey may want money...but hes a football player and he wants to be involved....he is looked at as a cancer but if we use him the way he needs to be...then he'll just sit back and enjoy the ride to our first SB

Re: payton wants shockey...................

Lets see what do the giants need? OL is the only thing they did not address in the draft. Here we go again, Brown? Stinch & picks? They need a RT. They did not address it in FA or the draft.
So not only will shockey not go away but neither will the OT trade talks.
