Saints Say Shockey Trade Talks Are Dead: According to the general manager of the New Orleans Saints, the trade talks between the Saints and Giants for the services of disgruntled TE Jeremy Shockey are dead.
"It’s no secret we had some discussions with (the Giants) and we just couldn’t come to a conclusion on the right compensation," said Saints’ General Manager Mickey Loomis. "I understand that. He’s a very good player and the Giants don’t want to just give him away - unless they feel like they’re getting really good value. But for the most part that’s dead…I don’t anticipate that being rekindled."
Strahan Looking for $8 Million in 2008?: According to The Daily News, two unidentified sources "familiar with Strahan’s situation" say DE Michael Strahan wants the Giants to double his current $4 million salary to $8 million to encourage him to return in 2008. Strahan is entering the last year of a 7-year, $46 million extension.
The Daily News is reporting that in a meeting with Giants’ officials in March, Strahan was told,"We’ll take care of you" financially. According to one unidentified source, Strahan has been told the team is willing to go as high as $6 million for one season.
Strahan’s agent says both sides have not talked contract. The Daily News says it is not clear whether Strahan is willing to play for less than $8 million. The paper also says it is not clear if Strahan would go to training camp as a condition for getting a doubling of his salary. An unidentified source says Strahan has not been given permission to miss camp again this year without the risk of being fined.
