Sephiroth Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Shockey wants trade or out. Rosenhaus on Shockey It's starting to look the like rumors might be true. Garofalo is usually pretty reliable, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jranieli Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I saw the Rosenhaus article yesterday but really came to no conclusions on it. I don't think there was much substance but the first article is very interesting. If this is true, he will be in a different uniform next year. I still don't know if a second rounder is worth it.

I still don't know if a second rounder is worth it.I think that we have to put our trust in our GM who is very intelligent about football. In any event, within 8 days we will probably have the answer to the Shockey question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I never pay attention to any rumors.. especially around this time. All these smoke-screens are just that.. And why do people ask agents and GMs about players when they know they will never get a straight answer? Oh I know.. so they can have something to write about... nothing.. Just like my response in this thread... it's nothing nothing I tell ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Fuck him. I suppose the injuries he had in 2002 and 2003 were from blocking too, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxi-xxv Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 He wa a glorified WR under Gentlemen Jim Fassel, fuck him this staff made him a better TE. IF 60+ catches and 5-8 tds are not enough in the 14 games he plays(as he always misses at least 2) then fuck off. You are 27, nver won a postseason game as a player and do a ton of bitching, either get with the program or fuck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Giant Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Jeremy won't be back. Not saying thats what i want or I think we're better off without him, but he doesn't conform to the team concept if he's been bitching about his role with the team. I just hope we get some good value from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeef2 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Seriously fellas, think about the details here: He was making demands that his role with the team be changed or else while the team was still fighting for a playoff berth and he was no longer playing due to yet another injury. That says all you need to know about this idiot. He's as dumb as a box of rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalscholar Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Trade him, but I think his fair value should be a second and fourth rounder for N.O. or they can take a hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylorized56 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Man I really hate saying this but I think Shockey's gone. I love him but I don't want any gay drama next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK-Giantsfan Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 A lot of this talk is just offseason gossip and hot air ......i still reckon it's a 70/30 chance in favour of Shockster being a Giant next year and i certainly dont want to see him go to NO ( who will be a serious competitor for us in the NFC next year ) What are we going to get in a trade anyway .....a 2nd round pick ( hardly a good deal for an All Pro TE ! ) . And if you think Kevin Boss is any more than a raw rookie with a good catch in the Superbowl .....you may be disappointed. Hopefully Reese knows what he's doing here. Keep #80 (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep #80 (IMHO) Boss was a raw rookie last year. But I remember that they sent Pope to check him out before the draft last year--that's not too common. IMO Boss was drafted to replace Shockey next season. So if this happens, it will only mean it happens a year early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep #80 (IMHO) Noboyd wants Shockey to go, but if the info in the first link is true, we are better off without him. Everyone on the team adjusted themselves to benefit the team, even the head coach, only Shockey didn't (if the first link is true). If he was bitching about his role on the team because he had to actually play tight end instead of receiver, then he can go. Shockey has been my favorite player, but I find that I enjoy watching the guys win the super bowl,. and if sacrificing Shockey means we can win another one in the next few years, buh by. I do however agree we should not trade him just to get rid of him. if we don;t get a deal that is basically a can't refuse deal, then keep him and see if he can keep his pie hole shut and learn a thing or two from Plax.

boohyah Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I see us using a lot of 2 tight end formations next year, because Boss's blocking isn't good, Matthews is going to get some more playing time that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

so-cal dub Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 If Shockey is pulling the "I'm going to sit out next season" shit, then he needs to go. Last thing we need is another big mouth Tiki on this team. He's me me me...I dont want to block all the time, ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing we need is another big mouth Tiki on this team. He's me me me...I dont want to block all the time, ect. We've won it without Shockey once before, we can certainly do it again without them but that is stating the obvious. He does bring a lot too this offense but it is Eli's team now and I don't think any one of us want to see Shockey raise his arms in disgust if there is an arrant thrown ball.

But he never complained about blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedinBlue Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I've had enough of all the talk and rumors. If Shockey doesn't like his role and doesn't think it's an honor to be on the Giants....then fuck him. My only concern: that we get justly compensated from whatever team he goes to. I like the original Saints offer (2nd rd pick plus Roman Harper), but I'd be happy with another 2nd round pick and possibly next year's first round pick. Shockey is a very valuable player for the right team and that's a reasonable offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockey is a very valuable player for the right team and that's a reasonable offer You're right Bleedin, it's a fine offer. Here's the problem. Everybody is fucking talking now. Reese, the newspapers, Friends of Shockey, and all of this reduce his trade value and as it gets closer to the draft it gets lower. The only way we can get more for him is if we shop him around, but right now it looks like the Saints only. And if he really said this about his role, then he's coming off as a me first player and some teams won't deal with him. It was been talked about on NFL radio yesterday about the Harper deal, and the consensus was that the Saints would be dumb to give up Harper. They shoild go at most 2nd rounder with a conditional pick next year, based on his playing time and performance, which seems like the smart way to go.
