Trade Rumors: Shockey to Saints Continues
Every time there was any speculation about Jeremy Shockey getting traded to the New Orleans Saints, Jerry Reese said that Shockey is the Giants Tight End in 2008. These rumors began in February, and they have resurfaced a few times. The last time was about a month ago. ProFootballTalk.com found out that:
Renewed talk of a possible trade is emerging, from an unlikely source. Several readers have pointed out to us that WWE announcer Jim Ross has posted the following entry on his blog: “Reggie Bush was also at [WrestleMania] 24 and was hanging around Snoop Dogg’s trailer most of the afternoon on Sunday. My sources tell me that the New York Giants are going to trade outstanding TE Jeremy Shockey to Bush’s Saints, prior to the NFL draft. Shockey is an Oklahoma kid from Ada who told me last week he was looking forward to playing for the Saints.”
From a Giants fan perspective, Shockey is a touchy subject because we love his offensive smashmouth style of play yet we don’t know if he really is disruptive to the team. Or more importantly, is he disruptive to Eli as some suggest? Should he stay or should he go is the question? Everybody has made up their minds about that topic already. Above, Jim Ross describes how Reggie Bush was hanging around Snoop Dogg’s trailor at Wrestlemania 24, but he didn’t write anything about Jeremy until the final sentence where he claimed that Shockey told him that he “is looking forward to playing for the Saints”. It seems like the source is Jeremy himself, and the NFL Draft is only two weeks away. So if this goes down as rumored, we’ll know about it by the end of the month.
