Here's the thing with Shockey:

1.- He's a Hurricane, so out of college he had an attitude.
2.- He landed on the Giants, and got 2 years of Fassell, Collins, and Tiki; his 2nd year the Giants blew big desert wind, the coach got fired, etc
3.- then he gets Eli as his QB and Emperor Palpatine as HC, with Tiki still whining in the lockerroom... now Eli, SB ring and all, he is not the type QB that can lead guys like Shockey. Shockey has too strong a personality which probably intimidates Eli.
4.- You know that no matter what, not being able to play in that playoff run and SB is got to be tearing him up inside... listening to all those comments about how the team was better without him, and how Eli was able to lead the team because he wasn't in the huddle...

Enter the Saints:
1.- He's got something to prove.
2.- His QB would be Drew Brees. No intimidation there.
3.- He'd be in an offense where he will get the ball.
4.- His HC would be a young coach who like offense.

Yep, I wouldn't mind seeing Shockey in NO at all.

There's the rub. Obviously, Tom Brady is unquestionably the man to answer to on the Patriots offense. You screw up a blocking assignment in San Diego, you gotta answer to LT. Successful NFL offenses have an individual that holds everyone else accountable for their actions. If you were to ask me who the leader was on the Giants' offense at the beginning of the season, I wouldn't have an answer for you. But one thing I learned this past season, despite it being sub-par, is that if you **** up on running a route, or miss a block, get ready for Brees to get up in your grill.
That being said, Shockey running around in a black and gold uniform conjure images of trophies, and beer flowing from fountains, bikini clad brazilian bombshells, fanning me with palm branches and feeding me ice cream sandwichs... and puppies....

this is a really bad idea.
