SHOCKEY NOT AWARE OF TRADE
Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2008, 6:40 p.m.
In response to reports that a trade possibly is in place that would send tight end Jeremy Shockey from the Giants to the Saints, a league source tells us that Shockey has not been notified of the potential transaction.

It doesn’t mean that a trade won’t happen, or that a trade isn’t already in place.

And if the goal of the Giants is to keep the deal under wraps until the Saints are on the clock at No. 40, there’s no reason for either team to let Shockey in on the news. It’s well known that Shockey wants out of New York, and he reportedly has told friends that he’d welcome a trade to the Saints.

Sources: Saints, Shockey stuck in trade limbo

Where's Jeremy Shockey? Still a member of the New York Giants.

New Orleans's apparent deal for tight end Jeremy Shockey has hit a delay because of the Giants' demand for more than a No. 2 draft pick for the former Pro Bowler, ESPN's John Clayton reports.

The Saints have been debating offering a No. 2 pick, according to sources, but some in the organization would prefer including no more than a No. 3 pick. New Orleans officials' reluctance makes the deal, which could get done on the draft-day clock or Saturday morning before the draft, difficult to pull off.

The Giants have already conducted a physical on Shockey, which could be offered to the Saints if he can't make it to New Orleans in time to have one. Sources indicate the Saints are seriously interested in Shockey, so a deal is likely to get done.

Saints general manager Mickey Loomis this week has declined to discuss players under contract with any other team, and has been evasive while meeting with reporters at the Saints' training headquarters. He has apologetically said that he did not want to tip off other teams to the Saints' draft plans.

The 28-year-old Shockey, who earned the first NFL championship of his career in January, broke his leg on Dec. 16 in a game against the Washington Redskins and did not play in the Super Bowl.

He finished the 2007 regular season with 57 receptions and three touchdowns.

Shockey/Saints...Rumors are flying that the New Orleans Saints and New York Giants may have already struck a deal that would send Jeremy Shockey to New Orleans.

An interesting thought here… I noticed on the Rotoworld Fantasy Mill that the Saints have entered the bidding for Lito Sheppard, and that they would be offering their 2nd rounder… the same 2nd rounder tied to Shockey. What are the chances that the Saints are doing the Eagles bidding and trade Shockey to the Eagles for Lito Sheppard, since the Giants would never trade him to a division foe… I know they have LJ Smith under the tender but as far as I know they havent reached a long term deal with him…

We let our #1 receiver do what the #1 receiver does, instead of what the TE does, while not losing a major amount of ability on the TE routes.

Plus, the intangible benefits. That is one more proven player on the Saints offense that defensive coaches have to contend with. Eric Johnson and Billy Miller do NOT send shivers down the backs of opposing coaches. Shockey may not cause fear, but he will garner some respect from opposing coaches. Especially in the redzone.

Euph, you beat me to the punch with the Ricky comment. I hope they didn't trade the bank for him.

Wasn't last year Harper's first year back from knee surgery? I think he'll be better this year.

I dont think Harper is part of the deal anymore I think its straight up for our second round pick.
