Filed under: Saints, NFL Free Agency
The NFL may be days away from a lockout, but it's still business as usual for now. Just ask Jeremy Shockey, who Tuesday was released by the New Orleans Saints. The move was first reported by FOX Sports.
"It's a business, I understand," Shockey told ESPN. "I'll just go play hard for someone else. Whoever gets me, it's going to be a steal."
The Saints got Shockey via a trade in 2008 with the New York Giants, who selected the former University of Miami star in the first round (No. 14 overall) of the 2002 draft. New Orleans gave up second- and fifth-round picks for a player who went to four Pro Bowls during his standout six seasons in the Meadowlands but never matched that productivity in the NFC South.
With the Saints, Shockey was nowhere as dominant as he was a Giant, missing at least three games each of his three seasons. After averaging nearly 62 catches and five touchdowns per season in New York, Shockey's numbers slipped to just over 46 catches per season and a total of six touchdowns as a Saint.
