SHOCKEY TO SAINTS STILL SIMMERING?

Last month, there were rumors and reports of discussions between the New Orleans Saints and New York Giants regarding a possible trade that would send tight end Jeremy Shockey from Broadway to the Bayou.

As we’d last heard it, the Giants wanted a second-round pick and safety Roman Harper, and the Saints declined.

But now renewed talk of a possible trade is emerging, from an unlikely source. Several readers have pointed out to us that WWE announcer Jim Ross has posted the following entry on his blog: “Reggie Bush was also at [WrestleMania] 24 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.”

Shockey has been the subject of extensive speculation, given that he played no role in the team’s stunning postseason run. Some believe that Eli Manning never would have become a championship-caliber quarterback is Shockey had not been injured..

All I can say is be careful what you wish for? Brees may be able to get into his face...but he will have no way of retrieving the ball that he just let go towards the sideline as Shockey cuts toward the post.

I'm not sure where I saw this, so I could be wrong, but I believe that Shockey can count up to his wonderlic score without taking his shoes off.

Speaking of shoes...with a wonderlic score like his, he may be losing a lot of money on Bourbon St. until he catches on and says, "On my feet."

I said this idea a few weeks ago...but it went unnoticed...Maybe there's mileage in it afterall. There's probably someone on here with a draft-value chart that would contradict it, but I can still see it happen.

If the Saints can swing a pre-draft trade for Shockey, switching our 1st round pick with theirs. Then turn around and get Haynesworth for the 31st overall pick, then they will have 2 immediate difference makers, that they can sign now, and it only cost them their 1st round pick.

We'd still have the #40 overall pick to go after a LB or RB (depending on Mcallisters physical) Just think about it...

yeah shockey would never be as dirty as haynesworth. he'd take his helmet off himself and want to go fist for fist.
but seriously.. i'm not for or against this. i just don't want it to affect our draft too much.
