Friday’s Giants News: NO Gave Up On Shockey
The NorthJersey.com Giants Blog called True Blue found out that New Orleans Saints are no longer in pursuit of Jeremy Shockey, and the Saints GM Mickey Loomis told Sirius NFL Radio:
It’s no secret we had some discussions with them and we just couldn’t come to a conclusion on the right compensation. 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.
Newsday:
NBC to broadcast preseason Giants games - The AP also covered this story that Giants.com released yesterday, ”The New York Giants and WNBC-TV have reached a multiyear agreement for the network to broadcast preseason games for the Super Bowl champions.”
New York Daily News:
Michael Strahan: $8M or goodbye - Ralph Vacchiano wrote an article about how Michael Strahan wants $8 million to come back in 2008. You know that I don’t want him back for $1 million, but it’s not my decision. With that said, Vacchiano rarely includes any quotes from the actual player or source so I don’t always know how credible his sources are. If you read the article then you won’t come across a threat of an $8 million contract. What you will read is that Strahan says that money isn’t an issue so I don’t understand the title.
New York Post:
WYNN VISITS WITH BIG BLUE - Paul Schwartz also covered this story about Renaldo Wynn visiting the Giants which The Star-Ledger reported yesterday.
