There’s a kinda-sorta report from PFW that the Giants and the
Saints might have already worked out a deal that would send tight end
Jeremy Shockey to New Orleans.
The Giants would receive the Saints’ second-round pick (No. 40 overall) and other draft picks.
So why would the move be kept under wraps? Because the Giants don’t want to stand in the shoes of the Saints at No. 40 until the Saints are on the clock. If the deal would be done now, then the teams at No. 41 and beyond would be able to consider their options for trading up, in order to get in front of the Giants and pluck a guy whom the Giants might be targeting.
