I think the current Saints TEs will get the job done just fine. None of the Saints TEs are particularly great, but all have great attitudes and come to work each day. There is no need to get Shockey. Yes, he does play great at times, and I even kind of like that cockiness. However I seen what a pain in the a$$ he was for the Giants and feel the Saints should not risk it. I honestly do not feel like he would make the Saints offense any better, and he does drop a lot of passes.

Re: shockey to saints?

i think the scariest part is now we are looking to give away one of the few decent spots of our defense for offense.....in addition to draft picks.

for those of you who think that its a sure thing that we pick defense at 10, this may open some eyes.

Re: shockey to saints?

Reggie Bush was also at WM24 and was hanging around Snoop Dogg’s trailer most of the afternoon on Sunday. My sources tell me that the New York Giants are going to trade outstanding TE Jeremy Shockey to Bush’s Saints, prior to the NFL draft. Shockey is an Oklahoma kid from Ada who told me last week he was looking forward to playing for the Saints. If any NFL player was tailor made for the WWE, it is JeremyShockey and the Chicago Bears’ Dusty Dvoracek.

I guess you should consider the "source"!

Food for thought:

Payton was the offensive coordinator for the Giants, during Shockey's rookie year. He likely had a big say in drafting the guy. More importantly, Shockey had his best year ever with Payton at the helm. 74 Rec. 894 Yds. (only 2 TDS), but still, maybe Payton knows how to handle him and how to get him the ball.......

Re: shockey to saints?

Somebody do me a favor and list the reasons as to why Shockey has been labeled a "team cancer." I should have no problems getting an answer to this, seeing as their are many who are throwing this designation around.

Honestly, I don't know, which is why I'm asking. Did he shoot up a club? Smack his girlfriend around? Did he make it rain? Has he publically berated his head coach? Has he held out for an extended period of time, demanding more money? Chastised his fellow teammates? I want to make sure I didn't miss something....

The waiting drove me mad....

Re: shockey to saints?

First off, LIFETIME Saints fan........Have been on the website now for awhile, enjoy reading all the posts...

I think this would be a great pick up for the Saints, Brees had alot of success with Gates in SD. I think he could do the same with Shockey. Brees is the type of guy, I think that could keep his head on straight. And like kidbra said, Payton might be a guy to keep him straight.....I personally would like to see this happen, will it? Prob not!

He did berate his head coach after the Seattle/Giants game in 2006 when he said, "We got out-played and out-coached. Write that down."

I don't recall anyone calling Shockey a cancer. He does have a big mouth and says some stupid things sometimes and is very volatile.
Me personally, I think that the Saints are fine at TE.
Mark Campbell will be back so the run game should improve.
Billy Miller is a good blocking TE also and made some good receptions last year.
Eric Johnson is a good receiving TE though he didn't play exceptionally well last year I think that he'll do fine this year.
I have no idea what Buck Ortega and Ronnie Ghent are like as players but I'm okay with the current TE's on the team.
