Jeremy Shockey has spoken for the first time since the New York Giants traded him to the New Orleans Saints and he has a lot to say about his former team.

“They (the Giants) won the Super Bowl last year,” Shockey said. “They really deserved it. I’m going to miss my teammates and my coaches, the owners, everything.” Read the rest of this entry »

The New York Giants have traded star tight end Jeremy Shockey to the New Orleans Saints for a 2nd and 5th round draft pick in 2009.

“Jeremy is a player that we are excited to have on our roster. He is someone I am familiar with as a player,” Payton said. “He brings a skill set to the position that I feel will be a tremendous benefit to our offense.” Read the rest of this entry »

New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress will not attend practice until he gets a new contract.

“Me and my agent are trying to get a deal done so I can stay a New York Giant for a long time,” Burress said. “I, personally, don’t like the way they’re going and I am not happy about it. I am choosing not to participate. I’m not saying I’m being mistreated, [but] Everybody wants to be treated fairly.”

The Giants can win games without Jeremy Shockey but they can’t afford to lose Burress. If they’re smart he’ll get a new deal soon.

Future Hall of Famer Michael Strahan has told FoxSports.com that he has decided to retire from the National Football League.

“It was important that my teammates knew which way I was going before they got on the field to start the work to defend our title,” the New York Giants defensive end said “It’s time. I’m done. It’s a tough decision but I wanted to be fair to the Giants and fair to my teammates.”

Strahan is going out on top and he will be a unanimous first-ballot Hall Of Famer.
