Saints acquire Jeremy Shockey for draft picks

The New Orleans Saints acquired Jeremy Shockey for a second- and a fifth-round draft pick in 2009.  The Saints had been trying since February to acquire the disgruntled New York Giants tight end. First, they offered a second-round pick. Before the draft, they increased the offer to a second- and a fifth-round draft choice, but until a few days before the start of their training camp, the Giants felt he was too valuable to lose.

This should immediatley increase Shockey’s value! Drew Bree’s hasnt had a tight-end since he left the chargers and will make Shockey his favorite target from day one of training camp. Look for Jeremy Shockey to have a huge year.
