Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

TAMPA - Word is the New Orleans Saints have entered the bidding for Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard. That’s not good news for the Bucs.

The Saints pick well ahead of the Bucs and own the 40th overall pick in the second round. That’s believed to be what they’re offering for Sheppard, and it’s obviously a better offer than the Bucs have so far mustered. The Bucs are believed to have offered their second-round pick, which is No. 52 overall.

The Eagles would like two picks in return for Sheppard because that’s what the Falcons got for DeAngel Hall, who went to the Raiders for a second-round pick in this year’s draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2009 draft.

So far, the best offer the Eagles have fielded is for just a second-round pick. The Eagles are believed to be seeking an answer from the Bucs as to whether their reported offer of a second-round pick is their best and final offer. If not, this thing could sway back in favor of the Bucs. If so, the Saints could end up with Sheppard.

We’ll try to keep you informed of all that’s happening on this front but a good guess is that the Eagles will take this to the last minute tomorrow. And since they’re seeking primarily a second-round pick for Sheppard, this could drag on well into tomorrow evening

kinda funny since this is the same pick that is supposed to be going to the giants for shockey

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

yeah... unbelieveable. I think the Shockey thing is more real that Lito.

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

We drop back to 19 for litto. trade litto to NYG for shockey. and stay at 19? not to bad.
i want to end this 40th pick stuff NOW. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

I think the #40 is ended for you already...

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stop it EUPh I have not given up hope. trade 10 for gods sake. the defense needs a ton of young bodies.

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

We just need Dorsey.

Anyways what do you think about that #40 for Shockey... much?

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

i dont think its bad.. he will really open up our offense for colston and bush, IMO.. i thought all along it would end up being for a 2nd and a 6th.. im pretty sure thats what it will end up being..

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

Litto for shockey not fair?
Then at 19 take BPA

Re: Saints Enter the Lito Shuffle???
 

i dont think the giants would be interested.. they have a young secondary that they feel pretty good about
