Another day and another trade takes place in the NFL. This time New York Giants Tightend Jeremy Shockey is heading to New Orleans in exchange for a couple of future draft picks. There have been rumors about this deal since really the Super Bowl. But it looks like the Saints offense just got another upgrade.
Shockey missed most of last season due to injury, that included the major turnaround the Giants experienced and their Super Bowl victory. It was pretty obvious that Shockey would not be a Giant for long when he was all but MIA during the latter half of the season. The tell tale sign was also seen on Super Bowl Sunday when Shockey was spotted hanging out in the owners box living it up rather than being down on the sidelines with his teammates.
Shockey can be a lot of things both good and bad. But one thing is for sure, when he is on and dialed he is can be a devisating weapon in the passing game. Drew Brees will enjoy throwing passes his way. Combine Shockeys playmaking ability with Reggie Bush and a returning Deuce and the Saints could have a solid offense. Especially when considering the weak NFC South.
