Sources: Giants to trade Shockey to Saints

Jeremy Shockey has finally gotten his wish.

The Giants have agreed to trade their disgruntled tight end to the New Orleans Saints for a second-round pick and a fifth-round pick, FOXSports.com has learned. The deal is pending league approval, according to a league source. Shockey must also pass a physical.

The compensation is the same the Saints offered New York back in April prior and during to the draft ... and it was turned down.

The move comes one day after Jason Taylor was traded from Miami to New York's NFC East rivals in Washington. According to a report on SI.com, the Giants had held discussions about a three-team trade in which they would have ended up with Taylor, the Saints would have landed Shockey and the Dolphins would have received a pair of draft picks.

The emergence of rookie Kevin Boss during the Giants' improbable Super Bowl run — a stretch Shockey missed due to a broken leg — made Shockey expendable. Boss started six games after Shockey's injury (two regular season and all four during the Giants' postseason run), making nine catches for 140 yards and a TD.

Shockey's attitude made the move somewhat necessary as the Giants sought to avoid distractions from their bid to repeat as Super Bowl champions.

During the team's recent minicamp, Shockey reportedly engaged in a shouting match with GM Jerry Reese, just the latest controversy involving the outspoken former first-round pick out of the University of Miami.

Shockey's absence in Phoenix during the Super Bowl was conspicuous to say the least. According to some reports, one of the many sources of Shockey's displeasure with the team was that he was not allowed to stand on the team's sidelines during the game.

In the past, Shockey also had less-than-complimentary things to say about his quarterback, Eli Manning. In fact, many have theorized that Manning's transformation from a middle-of-the-pack quarterback to a Super Bowl MVP was facilitated by Shockey's absence.

:(

I think Romo was there before Parcells was.

 

And I said it before and I'll say it again: these Giants ALWAYS start out strong, and finish weak. They have a QB who collapses in the second half of the season, have shitty leadership, and come up small in the big spot.

 

8-8; here we come. You heard it here first.

Ease up there...Jeez.

I went to the game today. Once again the problem was our defense. I don't know if Romo is just really that good or if our defense sucks. We just could not get our hands on him. Let's face it...Dallas is one of the top two teams in the whole NFC. We hung with them straight up in the first half. Our defense cannot give up 30 points a game. And you cannot expect our offense to output 33 points every game? That's a lot of points. We should have had 27 points and would've had the 3 points when we went for it on 4 and 2 at the end. My offense scores thirty fucking points against the top NFC east team and we can't win??? Who's fault is that really?

I told you you jackasses!!

You guys will see...right now he's living in the shadow of Dale Hasnoheart junior. He needs to go independent so he can destroy. His driving is ridiculous.

He sucks and always will...

Read em and weep fellas.

Kenseth blows...

Makes you wonder what the will says.

 

did Dale leave it to JR or did he leave it to Theresa? or is it 50/50 49/51 ????if JR leaves DEI it will fold . Theresa can't run that company 100%. DEI will lose its "FACE" if JR walked. JR could walk right up to Richard Childress and say hey give me #3 and that would be it .

Good Truex wants his number 8 back... :brooding:

I've done it that way before, and I think this way is better because is more interactive.

I didn't realize you guys had two league's already.

I do like my password the best out of the three leagues.
