If the Giants decide to trade Jeremy Shockey this week, it won't necessarily be to the Saints.
Whether the Saints or Seahawks up the ante between now and the start of the draft on Saturday will likely determine whether the Giants make the bold move to dump the 27-year-old Shockey, who has been expressing his frustrations with the Giants to his friends this offseason. According to team sources, the Giants aren't actively trying to trade him, but they are listening to offers and have discussed the possibility.
Some in the organization are convinced Shockey will be traded before the first day of the draft is over, although most sources have indicated it could go either way, depending on how high the offers go.
One source also indicated that other teams have expressed an interest in Shockey, although none more than the Seahawks and Saints. The source did not say who those teams were, but one possibility is the Atlanta Falcons, who are looking to replace tight end Alge Crumpler. The Falcons, by the way, have three second-round picks (34th, 37th and 48th).
I hope he gets out of New York. Maybe in a different market, he won't get so much attention. I'm sick of hearing about this guy. A big reason why he gets this kind of attention is that he plays for New York. Send him to Seattle and we never hear from him again, at least off the field.
