Giants ASKED for Harper and pick
Pro Football Talk:
"In response to our blurb regarding a report in the Newark Star-Ledger that the New Orleans Saints offered a second-round pick and safety Roman Harper for Giants tight end
We don’t know what if anything the Saints offered for Shockey. But the fact that the Giants articulated a trade request for Shockey tells us that they’re willing to move on without him.
And for good reason. He has been a disruptive influence in the organization, and we think it’s no coincidence that quarterback Eli Manning came of age once Shockey was done for the year with a broken leg."
Wow that is a shock to me. I did not think the Giants would be willing to deal Shockey this off-season. Rotoworld brings up a good point that this was most likely asked before Sammy Knight was signed so Harper might not be wanted anymore, but hey you never know. If there are any other rumblings I'll let you know.
