Shock talk

That's all it is, talk, so take it for what it's worth.

First of all Shockey has been hearing from his old buddy, Jonathan Vilma, how great it would be for them to hook up again in New Orleans. That coupled with his knowledge of Saints coach Sean Payton and his penchant for throwing to the tight end has him interested.

On the other hand...

A source who has proved himself reputable insists enough Giants have talked to Shockey and convinced him to stay. Now there's no question the feeling in that locker room is for the tight end to remain. That garbage about the Giants being a better team without him is just that, garbage.

So if Shockey drops his "Get me outta here!" stance there is less reason to trade him, not that there was much reason in the first place.

Also, Brandon Jacobs has been hinting at hitting it big financially in his next contract. The running back is in the final year of his rookie deal and could become a free agent at year's end.

Some of the reasons the Giants wanted to hold onto Danny Ware at RB is the uncertainty about Jacobs' future and, of course, Derrick Ward's injury history.

Now, however, the Giants reportedly are preparing a deal to try to get Jacobs signed before the start of training camp. Just stayed tuned on that one.

Giants are 7-1 without him including the SB run. That is not garbage but fact.
