After 3 seasons, a super bowl TD and a super bowl ring, Shockey has been cut by the New Orleans Saints. Shockey would be a great addition for any team. I would love to see him back in NY, I know him and Eli didn't always see eye to eye. But if you look at what the Giants have done at the TE position since they got rid of Shockey it hasn't been anything outstanding. Kevin Boss has been a good player but he is inconsistent, injury prone and has not developed into an outstanding blocker. Boss is a free agent and will garner serious attention from many teams and might even cost more to retain than signing the veteran former Giant. I would at least kick the tires around on this player if the Giants can get him on the cheap and then bring in another rookie to play under Shockey for a year or two to develop it could really help the passing game by taking pressure off Nicks and Manningham (can't mention Smith bc who knows when or if he comes back) Shockey even though not known for his blocking is determined and very good so this would help the running game as well.
I would take Shockey back, but he would have to be real cheap...might add some intensity to the offense
