Jay Glazer of Fox Sports is reporting that the Giants have agreed to trade tight end Jeremy Shockey to the Saints for second- and fifth-round draft picks in 2009. He will become the Saints’ No. 1 tight end, and will undoubtedly be used as a wide receiver in some packages in Sean Payton’s offense.Last year Shockey played in 14 games; collecting 57 catches for 619 yards and 3 TD's before missing the rest of the season, playoffs and Super Bowl with a broken leg.
Note: Sean Payton was Shockey's offensive coordinator his rookie season with the Giants, where Shockey had a career best in catches (74) and yards (894).

I don't really understand why the Saints would do this. Yeah, he's a tremendous talent, but aren't the other issues, i.e. the fact the Giants played better w/o him last season and giving up 2 Draft Picks. Maybe, and hopefully, Payton has the right ingredients to make this guy behave himself and play productively. If so, this could be a great trade. If not, then this will be a horrible trade for the Saints.
