There has been a significant amount of speculation over the last few days about New York Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey and his status with the team. Several reports have indicated that the often out-spoken, tattoo bearing Oklahoma native had grown tired of his role in New York and wanted a trade, while others have continued to insist it's nothing more than mass speculation.Somewhere amidst all the hoo-ha is the truth and it appears that someone may have finally found it. According to Pro Football Weekly, Shockey will soon call New Orleans home.
Maybe. Possibly. Could be.
PFW believes that Giants TE Jeremy Shockey has been traded to the Saints for multiple draft picks, including the team's second-rounder (No. 40). We'll try to confirm this as soon as we can.For what it's worth, my cousin's third uncle twice removed heard from his step-daughter that some guy in a bar in Miami had a gardener who heard from his sister's boyfriend that Shockey's dentist said he was going to play for the Nigerian national football team next year.
There are also rumors floating around that Shockey will soon land on the moon.

The rumors about Shockey landing on the moon, I just don't buy, but what the hell do I know? If the Giants can get multiple draft picks (2, 3, maybe 4??),including a second rounder..pretty simple, just do it! Actually,I love the way Jeremy plays, but it might be time to move on.

I'd love to see Shockey go to Seattle. He's worth every dollar.

A 2nd round pick for Shockey? If I'm the Giants, I make this deal in a second.
Healthy, he's a hell of a player. But can you really count on him being healthy for 16+ games?

Why would anyone want to give up a second round draft choice for Kevin Boss's backup. An all-pro on the ALL NFL Injured Reserve Team. Why not just sign Mark Prior or Kevin Wood.
Different sports? I'm sure all three are desent bowlers. They've had lots of time to practice.
