We’re hoping that the Saints and the Giants work out a trade for tight end Jeremy Shockey, because the story is entering the realm of the Brett Favre retirement/unretirement watch.
Though it has been believed that the Saints offered only a second-round pick for Shockey, Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that the Saints have added to the offer a sixth-round pick in 2008 or a fifth-rounder in 2009.
The Giants previously asked for the second-rounder and safety Roman Harper.
But the Saints and their second-round pick have also been linked to the Eagles and Lito Sheppard.
Shockey is signed through 2011. He’s due to earn a base salary of $1.92 million in 2008. His salary spikes to $3.0 million in 2009, and $3.8 million in 2010.

Why offer more than a 4th for Shockey? The Giants didn’t seem to need him to win the SB42. You probably could’ve made the case that he’s expenable, trouble maker who they could deal for a lower pick! He’s over-rated in my view, more of a talker than a performer. 2nd round pick is too much for Shockey!

I would rather have Sheppard. I don’t know why the Saints would want Shockey.

“because the story is entering the realm of the Brett Favre retirement/unretirement watch.”
…in that you won’t/can’t stop talking about it, whether or not there’s any news to report/create.
