Though both Giants and Saints officials appear hesitant to close the door on a Jeremy Shockey trade, we hear there is nothing brewing or imminent. Saints head coach Sean Payton would like to add a weapon at tight end, but we hear that the Giants’ asking price might have gone up since no deal could be culminated before or during the draft, when the Saints were rumored to have offered a second-round pick.

Geeze this is a long *** thread. Guys we can all agree that as a football player, on the field he would improve the team but there is no way we are getting him so lets move on.

Gilbride tells Shockey he wants him, but status remains unclear

Offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride became the latest Giants official to reiterate that Jeremy Shockey remains the team's starting tight end — as things stand now. No one has guaranteed that Shockey will remain with the team when the games start this fall, but Gilbride went as far as calling Shockey to tell him he wants his tight end this season. “It is so nebulous right now,” Gilbride said Saturday. “You just have no idea what is going to happen. Right now he is on our team, and we are planning on him being there. He will be one of the guys that we look to feature and one of the guys that we will look to depend on, and hopefully he will be here in good spirits and ready to do the things that we know he is capable of doing. But who knows? It is certainly beyond my hands.”

So far the FO has done a brilliant job of rebuilding the defense through judicious trades of draft picks, free agency, and the draft.

I disagree. It was less disingenuous and more sarcastic.

Yeah, but every defense does not have to cover different TEs the same way.

Hell, I would stay way off of Eric Johnson. Better chance of the ball deflecting into a defender's hands than there is of him catching it. Yeah, I know, I know, he isn't really that bad, but he has to suck up the abuse until he makes up for it.

Gates and Gonzales are the top receivers on their teams, the main targets.

They are not defended the way Crumpler or Witten were, because they were usually more short range targets that can bust out a long one.

And they in turn are not defended the way Johnson and Miller were, because they are not the threats that the aforementioned TE's are.

Saints no longer in pursuit of TE Shockey

Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Thursday that the team is no longer in pursuit of Jeremy Shockey.

"We had some discussions with (New York) and we just couldn’t come to a conclusion on the right compensation," Loomis said. "He's a very good player and the Giants don't want to just give him away. I don't anticipate that being rekindled." Shockey would've been a better fantasy bet in New Orleans, where he would've done less blocking, but the Jints are smart to hold on. May. 15 - 6:08 pm et

After the scope on EJ's knee has supposedly "set him back", the Giants may just hold all the cards when it comes to Shockey.

On the other hand, let's see what takes shape during the Giants camp.
