February 29, 200818 yr Author Saints wanting Shockey huh? Sean Peyton used to be Shockey's offensive coordinator. I doubt the Giants will give up Shockey for a 2nd or 3rd. Maybe a 2nd AND 3rd, or a 1st. I don't see it happening though.
February 29, 200818 yr Author Raiders overpaid for Gibril Wilson...if the rumors are true. Best of luck to Gibril. He got his ring, now he's getting his money.

I don't see it happening though. I thought you originally said they wouldn't consider trading him at all? :sssh:
February 29, 200818 yr Jevon Kearse...next troubled Bengal? The Freak was awesome in Tennessee and I was heartbroken to see him leave. I would love to see be successful again, even if he goes to Cincy!
February 29, 200818 yr Kearse is done...signing him would be a huge mistake, IMO...unless they get him extremely cheap. Perhaps they could sign him for a cheap base with incentives. Then it might be worth it, but there's no way I'd give him much of a guarantee.

February 29, 200818 yr Apparently the Browns have no resigned Derek Anderson to a multi-year deal! I was hoping they would just tender him and get something for him. Ah well.
February 29, 200818 yr Author I thought you originally said they wouldn't consider trading him at all? :sssh: I still don't think they will consider it. The Saints were the ones who are interested. Most of the Giants beat writers think it's absurd as well. One even pointed out how Wellington Mara had a very close relationship to Shockey, and that one thing the Giants do not do is trade "special" players. Shockey is close to the Mara's therefore it's not likely they will trade him. Mike Garafalo reported this.
February 29, 200818 yr Author Here's what I've heard today. I heard Derek Anderson re-signed with Cleveland. Kawika Mitchell (LB, NYG) agreed to terms with Buffalo. Gibril Wilson is talking to Oakland, and they may sign him soon. Reggie Torbor (LB, NYG) is going to Miami. The Giants hope to re-sign Derrick Ward to a 1-2 year deal. The Giants TURNED DOWN New Orleans offer for Jeremy Shockey. That Jeremy Shockey-to-New Orleans trade foray was true in that the Saints did call. But the Giants turned them down. The Giants are also interested in Erik Coleman, and Sammy Knight, and Lance Briggs. And the DeAngelo Hall to NYG trade is dead ... for now. LINK
February 29, 200818 yr Author Oh, and the Eagles have apparently reached an agreement with Asante Samuel.
