This is coming from a Giants fan who has watched his every game. Yeah, okay, Shockey gave the team a spark every 6 games or so. Where did that get them? He is still being hyped up from his play in the Hall of Fame game as a rookie. He is not bad but he is not as consistent enough to call him good. Plain and simple. Kid can block and can make big plays but he has dropped passes or shot us in the foot some other way year after year. Shockey is so overrated.

Yes, he's an above-average tight end. Yes, he's made the Pro Bowl. However, that's not the strongest position and he's definitely not in the same class as Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, or Jason Whitten. He's made tough catches and added a bit of moxie to a usually meek Giants offense. However, I've watched him drop many balls and potential touch downs over the years. Also, his silly antics on the field (spiking the ball after a routine 1st down or complain to the refs) is something that he should have outgrown by now. I'm hoping the team can get a 2nd and another pick (maybe a 4th?) or 2nd tier player for Shockey. The Saints offense is certainly a good fit for him. If not New Orleans, maybe Seattle.

The funny thing is, if you go to the Giants message board the Kool Aide has been distributed and consumed by many. He is being described as an awesome blocker, and someone who rarely drops passes or commits pointless penalties.... I am fine with getting a 2nd rounder for him, but Jerry knows what he is doing....

I would ship him out and take the 2nd round pick from the Saints. Giants definitely don't need him harassing Eli for the ball every other snap down the field The guys a crybaby and its no surprise the Giants did so well with him and Tiki off the field.

Besides, the way Shockey treated the team during and after the playoffs and Super Bowl is just the sign of him having wanted out earlier.

Maybe we give them a 2nd and Jason(Toast)David. Wouldn't mind having the guy but not for what they want in return. If we trade our 2nd round pick I hope it involves Lito from Philly. We obviously need a corner that can start now. No way he is worth a 2nd and Roman Harper. Maybe we give them a 2nd and Jason(Toast)David.
