Just read that the Falcons are in the running for Shockey, and they have a lot more ammo if they were inclined to get him. Man, it would really suck if they got both Shockey and ended up with Dorsey, 2 players I like to see in B&G.

Champ Kind you've got the best Avatar, man, really...

Anyways...Looks like the NYPost is on the Giant payroll trying to drive up value for Shockey, cause...

Seahawks deny interest in Shockey
Could Jeremy Shockey be the answer to the Seahawks' need for a tight end? No, the club said Wednesday, after the New York Daily News reported that the Seahawks are among the teams interesting in trading for the Giants' disgruntled tight end. The Seahawks quickly dismissed the report, saying they have no serious interest in the four-time Pro Bowler, who sat out the Giants' run to the Super Bowl after breaking his leg in Week 15 of the regular season. The Seahawks plan to address the tight end position in the NFL draft this weekend. -- Seattle P-I

So that leaves the Falcons as the most serious threat to landing Shockey and with all those picks, it's a possibility except for the fact that Shockster wants to play for a contender, NOW, and play for his ol' ball coach that gave him his best production...

Cher' we've season that Seafood Boil jus right down here!

PFW believes that Giants TE Jeremy Shockey has been traded to the Saints for multiple draft picks, including the team's second-rounder (No. 40). We'll try to confirm this as soon as we can.

Shockey traded? A deal might be in place with Saints (Around the NFL)

SHOCKEY TO SAINTS ALREADY IN PLACE?

Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2008, 6:06 p.m.
There’s a kinda-sorta report from PFW that the Giants and the Saints might have already worked out a deal that would send tight end Jeremy Shockey to New Orleans.

The Giants would receive the Saints’ second-round pick (No. 40 overall) and other draft picks.

So why would the move be kept under wraps? Because the Giants don’t want to stand in the shoes of the Saints at No. 40 until the Saints are on the clock. If the deal would be done now, then the teams at No. 41 and beyond would be able to consider their options for trading up, in order to get in front of the Giants and pluck a guy whom the Giants might be targeting.

Generally speaking, the best approach to draft-pick trades is to do the deal when one of the teams is on the clock. Indeed, it would have been ideal for the Vikings and the Chiefs to finalize the Jared Allen trade while the Vikings were on the clock with the No. 17 selection in round one.

Unfortunately for the Chiefs, however, there’s too much that needs to happen when a franchise player is traded to a new team. The player needs to sign his tender, then he gets traded and signs a long-term contract (or vice-versa). It’s simply too hard to make all that happen in ten minutes.

In all other cases, however, it’s far wiser to do the deal so that the team acquiring a pick from another team gets that pick at a time when that pick is the next pick to be, um, picked.

Crap! We were robbed!

If this is true, i.e., the second round pick plus more picks, I'm really not having a good feeling about it at all.

Euphoria

Yeah I agree with you... I thought a second rounder was to high as it was for Shockey. To give up anything more is to much. We were robbed.

Payton better get us back to the NFC this season or else.

See there goes your #40 pick plus... its Ricky all over again. So who is starting the pool that he is a no show at work outs with the team. Opting to stay in Fla.? or How many days Payton has left.
