Shockey's Offseason of Discontent

Trade speculation has surrounded Jeremy Shockey all offseason after the New York Giants won the Super Bowl without the injured tight end.

There were reports that Shockey might be headed to the New Orleans Saints, and others that he would welcome such a move.

Shockey seemed less than pleased when he spoke to reporters during a promotional appearance over the weekend.

"The statement I would like to make about the Giants and the speculation in the offseason is that whatever happens between the upper management, lower management, the owners, any management, is going to [stay] between ourselves," he said, according to the New York Daily News. "Unlike the Giants, I am going to be quiet. They have released multiple things about myself, and if you look back into the media, there is always a source. Well, I would like to know who the source is.

"I haven't said one negative thing towards the Giants in the newspapers. I have never expressed the feelings of the things that you guys made up. You guys will be able to talk to me if I make it to minicamp."

The defending champions are scheduled to open a minicamp Wednesday.
