Monday’s Giants News: Post-Draft Shockey Rumors
According to The Times-Picayune, “League sources indicate the Saints’ pursuit of Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey did not end when a draft-day deal between the clubs could not be reached. Coach Sean Payton believes Shockey is a perfect fit for the Saints’ offense, and he still desperately wants the player to be wearing a black-and-gold uniform this season. Shockey has informed the Giants of his unhappiness, and apparently unwillingness, to play again in New York. Don’t be surprised if the trade is finalized in the coming weeks. According to New York’s Newsday, Shockey has four years remaining on his five-year, $26.3 million contract extension, including $1.9 million due this season. . . .” Even after the Draft, the New Orleans press still thinks a trade could be made. If the Saints’ offer was good enough then the trade would’ve been done. We’ll find out how serious the Saints are when they make an offer that Jerry Reese is fond of.
