shockey to saints trade stalls.. Update on Pg 11

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....

no

Smack his girlfriend around?

no

Has he publically berated his head coach?

yes, tom coughlin, and at the time.. it was being questioned if T.C. was the right coach for the job... and was being speculated that he would be fired...

Has he held out for an extended period of time, demanding more money?

no

Chastised his fellow teammates?

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.
