This is the Warpath, Saints after Shockey thread....? Right This talk of Shockey going to the Saints seems to me like it would more than likely be a good move for both parties. The Giants sure don't need him, they proved that last season. If they can get some decent value/trade or draft picks for Shockey I would cut ties with him in a flash.

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
It would be a shame if Shockey went to the Saints
because we wouldn't be able to embarass his trash-talking ass two times a year anymore |

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
Sources: Saints, Shockey stuck in trade limbo
ESPN.com Updated: April 25, 2008, 10:58 PM ET Where's Jeremy Shockey? Still a member of the New York Giants. New Orleans's apparent deal for tight end Jeremy Shockey has hit a delay because of the Giants' demand for more than a No. 2 draft pick for the former Pro Bowler, ESPN's John Clayton reports. The Saints have been debating offering a No. 2 pick, according to sources, but some in the organization would prefer including no more than a No. 3 pick. New Orleans officials' reluctance makes the deal, which could get done on the draft-day clock or Saturday morning before the draft, difficult to pull off. The Giants have already conducted a physical on Shockey, which could be offered to the Saints if he can't make it to New Orleans in time to have one. Sources indicate the Saints are seriously interested in Shockey, so a deal is likely to get done. Saints general manager Mickey Loomis this week has declined to discuss players under contract with any other team, and has been evasive while meeting with reporters at the Saints' training headquarters. He has apologetically said that he did not want to tip off other teams to the Saints' draft plans. The 28-year-old Shockey, who earned the first NFL championship of his career in January, broke his leg on Dec. 16 in a game against the Washington Redskins and did not play in the Super Bowl. He finished the 2007 regular season with 57 receptions and three touchdowns.

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
i'd take the pick for shockey in a heart beat. replace him with someone that's not an idiot and can stay off the injury list for more than two weeks at a time.

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
"Saints inch closer to acquiring TE Shockey from Giants", the deal is a second rounder and a fifth or sixth round pick.

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
I like Kevin Boss as a TE but will be very happy that we will not have to worry about covering thier #2 receiver (Shockey). Boss is slow enough that we can put Fletcher man up on him and pick it off every time with they try to go to Sinorice...

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
Shockey is coming off a broken leg injury, thats a tough one. They can certainly be career changing or even ending injury.
With that said the Saints must feel very confident if this trade goes down he is recovering and making all the right progress to be ready to go this season. If thats the case. I'm glad we won't have to face him twice a year, he is a big threat when healthy. |

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
In unrelated news to Shockey. Saints and Ravens to possibly make a deal?
RAVENS, SAINTS TO SWAP PICKS? Posted by Michael David Smith on April 26, 2008, 12:02 p.m. With just three hours to go before the start of the draft, trade talk is getting fast and furious, and John Clayton of ESPN reports that the Saints and Ravens could make a deal. The Ravens want to draft a quarterback and they don’t think they’ll be able to nab their first choice, Matt Ryan of Boston College, with the eighth pick in the draft. That would then lead the Ravens to try to trade down and select their second-rated quarterback, Chad Henne of Michigan, and Clayton reports that they’d be willing to take Henne as high as 10th, the pick the Saints own. That would be viewed as a major reach by just about every draft analyst, but according to Clayton, that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. The Saints have made no secret this week that they’re willing to buck the recent trend of teams not wanting to trade up in the draft. New Orleans seems to think that it needs to bolster its defensive line and that the top four prospects — Virginia’s Chris Long, LSU’s Glenn Dorsey, Ohio State’s Vernon Gholston and USC’s Sedrick Ellis — will all be gone in the first nine picks. One stumbling block in such a trade happening is that the standard draft trade chart would call for the Saints to throw in a fourth-round pick to make such a move, but the Saints have already traded their fourth-round pick to the Jets.

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
True Blue: No shock here: Saints back off
No shock here: Saints back off New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis admitted Thursday he's no longer in pursuit of a deal for Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey, citing the Giants' trade demands. Prior to the draft, the Giants reportedly had asked for a second-round pick and safety Roman Harper. “It’s no secret we had some discussions with them and we just couldn’t come to a conclusion on the right compensation,” Loomis told Sirius NFL Radio. “I understand that. He's a very good player and the Giants don't want to just give him away - unless they feel like they're getting really good value. “But for the most part that’s dead ... I don't anticipate that being rekindled.” Guess they aren't after Shockey anymore.

Re: Saints After Shockey?!
If I were the Giants I would have taken the Saints' 2nd rounder and ran with it.
