Don’t completely dismiss the Giants-Saints trade rumors involving Giants TE Jeremy Shockey. Although the trade as discussed — Shockey to New Orleans for SS Roman Harper and the 40th pick — probably won’t happen, we’re told that there was dialogue on that subject.

As great as he is or CAN be, he is such the cancer as well. I sure hope Payton knows what he is doing because if this guy thinks he can do what he did in NY not working out ect with the team... come on.

He had to get hurt in order for the team to rally and win the SB, lol.

Our #1 for #32 thats 710 points from the chart
#40 is worth 500 points.That should equal Shockey and the quality of player we are loosing.
That leaves 210 points.
Pick #95 = 120 pts
Add a third in 2009 and it is a done deal.

No I don't have links to confirm & nor do I really care if he goes to the saints or not I just wanted to share my story.

I was passing thru DFW "Dallas Fort Worth International" yesterday on business. Having a few beers & getting ready to order some food when this huge person walks in & sets down next to me. I glanced over & immediately knew it was shockey from the tat's.

He ordered a double margarita & two shots of petron & asked where the owner of the place was "apperently a friend of his that he was going to sign autographs for". The owner wasn't around so he had his drinks & asked to borrow one of the waitresses cell phone "said he lost his in the bahamas where he was flying from".

He called Drew Rosenhaus & started discussing something pretty heatedly & then told him to get it done or he would find someone that could. Somebody asked him if he was going back to NYG, Shockey smiled and lauged & said he was going to be traded. Either to the saints, raiders, tampa bay, or denver.

He started out real friendly signing some autgraphs for kids & then he turned into what I expected, a jerk. He was cussing profusely "mind you this wasn't just a bar it was a restaurant that had a bar in the middle.

Right before I left I asked him who was the hardest hitter in the NFL & he said "Sean Taylor, the best football player ever" quote.

I told him I was a Cowboys fan & he started dogging on Roy HARD. Saying he was out of shape & fat.

Anyways I got on the plane to Oklahoma City & noticed he was on the plane too. As I passed him I asked him if he was going to be a Saint & he put his finger up to his lips like shhhhhh.

I don't know why he would be spouting off in an airport about a trade but I though it was interesting none the less. First pro athlete I had ever met & he was about like I figured, full of himself & very cocky....ahhh the life of a pro athlete.

Hagan, thats a great story to read. I hope we dont get that bum. YES HE IS A GOOD PLAYER, but thats it. Do we bring in a problem child ?? I dont know, plus i dont want us to use any more of or picks unless we move up for Ellis.

Great player when healthy but lately he's been hurt more often than not..
and besides that he's a cancer to his team, we don't need him..

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.

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.

This rumor certainly has legs .IMHO we give up 2nd only and for that IMHO thats agood deal for us
