Shockey Fine With Trade
NY Daily News:
"Jeremy Shockey has not formally demanded a trade from the Giants, but he has made it very clear he wouldn't be upset if it happened, either. The brash tight end, who missed the Giants' champ
ionship run with a broken leg, has been sounding off for more than a month about his frustrations with the Giants, according to NFL sources. And he has told friends he would welcome a trade to the New Orleans Saints, who made an offer for him last month. But while Giants GM Jerry Reese admitted yesterday that he has had "conversations" with other teams about trading Shockey, he also said he is not shopping his tight end. "Anything can happen in personnel," he said. ["But right now, Jeremy Shockey is our starting tight end and we're looking forward for him to be back on the field for us this fall."]"
...If the Saints trade for Shockey the Giants would receive either a 2nd round pick or safety Roman Harper and a 2nd day pick. I'm still debating whether or not I want to trade Shockey. The Saints have pretty good position in the 2nd round, but I would like a little more than that.
