News: The New Orleans Saints have already expressed their interest in Jeremy Shockey and now the Seattle Seahawks and possibly the Atlanta Falcons are entering the fray for the disgruntled tight end, reports the New York Daily News. The Giants aren't actively trying to trade Shockey, but they are listening to offers and have discussed the possibility as more teams come knocking at their door. Who Dat Say: Both the Falcons and the Seahawks have obvious needs at TE, so this makes sense. Shockey has been telling friends he wants to go to the Saints, where he would be reunited with head coach Sean Payton, who was the offensive coordinator for the New York Giants when Shockey was drafted. But now since Atlanta and Seattle appear to be after the TE, the Saints will have an uphill climb to acquire his services. New York knows that there is interest and will likely pit two teams against each other in hopes of driving up the price for Shockey's services. Atlanta, with three 2nd round picks, might have an advantage in landing him.
