Re: shockey to saints trade stalls.. Update on Pg 11

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....Fond this on PFT...never looked at it like this but maybe this is what is going to happen.

Saints inch closer to acquiring TE Shockey from Giants

FOX Sports on MSN - NFL - Saints inch closer to acquiring TE Shockey from Giants

The New Orleans Saints are trying to land TE Jeremy Shockey and have offered what could be enough to get the deal done.

FOXSports.com has learned that New Orleans early this week offered the Giants a second-round pick in today's draft as well as either a sixth-rounder this year or a fifth in 2009 to get the deal sealed. Despite reports to the contrary, the deal has been on the table for quite some time and remains available today.

The Giants wanted a second-rounder as well as safety Roman Harper but the Saints were reluctant to make that move.

Shockey has told several friends he wanted to join Drew Brees and Co. and was hoping the deal got done by the time the draft began.

Not a Shockey fan here. He's a very good TE with good hands and a high motor. He'd be a trainwreck waiting to happen for the Saints, their lockerroom, their coach . . . don't trade the farm and keep Roman Harper

Posted this on another thread...

Maybe Giants used this situation as an opportunity to knock Shockey down the food chain in Meadowlands Land?!?

peter king on Shockey trade
Per SI.com

The Saints are on the clock with the 40th pick in the draft, and this is the pick they should be trading to the Giants for Jeremy Shockey, and ESPN goes to commercial, and the draft room here is emptying out, TV people headed off to the arena downtown for the NBA playoff game (you mean the Hawks are still in the playoffs?), and here comes the news ...

No Shockey trade. The Saints pick cornerback Tracy Porter, cornerback, Indiana.

When Sean Payton left work Friday, he made sure to tell GM Mickey Loomis that they could not be forced into overpaying for Jeremy Shockey. New Orleans' offer -- either a two and a six this year, or a two this year and a five next year -- just wasn't enough for the Giants.

A shame. Shockey will be an unhappy distraction for the Giants. I really thought they should have traded him. --Peter King

Sounds like more than a fair offer for a guy returning from injury and unhappy at the same time. Combine that along with what the current trade market is concerning draft picks and I say the Giants made a mistake.
