Treehugger Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Shockey's interest in Giants draws Twitter fire from Toomer NFL.com Fresh off watching the New York Giants win a Super Bowl without his services, tight end Jeremy Shockey reportedly wants back in with Big Blue. Reuter: Chain reaction How will this year's free agency impact April's draft? Chad Reuter examines the fallout of some notable developments. More ... Shockey has informed the Giants that he'd like to reunite with the franchise that hosted the first six seasons of his career, the New York Daily News reported Thursday. Shockey told the Giants he would accept the veteran-minimum salary of $925,000, a source familiar with the situation told The Star-Ledger, but even his most loyal supporters within the building "resisted the idea of his return," according to the newspaper. One former teammate, Amani Toomer, expressed his disinterest in seeing Shockey suit up for the Giants again. "No!!Shockey"I will never play4 you again!"he yelled at jerry Reese in 08. Let him keep his word. Bad teammate, worse person," Toomer wrote on Twitter in response to the Daily News' report. Shockey wasted no time in responding. "Go get a bucket of rocks and start throwing them at your glass house," he tweeted back at Toomer. The Giants reached terms on a one-year, $2.5 million contract with former Dallas Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett, a league source told NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora on Wednesday. The team remains thin at the position after Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum both tore their anterior cruciate ligaments during Super Bowl XLVI. Shockey had a tumultuous tenure with the Giants from 2002 to 2007 before spending the next three seasons with the New Orleans Saints. He caught 37 passes for 455 yards with four touchdowns as a member of the Panthers in 2011, his first season in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman329 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That's a little un-Toomer-like. Agreed. Toomer has always been pure class.....so I'm thinking Shockey has to be a mega-Ahole to draw this kind of reaction from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorBanksCarsonVanPelt Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 That's a little un-Toomer-like. Shows how strongly he feels about it...between Shockey, MeMe, AndIshootedmyselfindaleg....all three were major Eli detractors on and off the field. Locker room cancers all. Fuck Shockey...let him drink himself out of the league somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayD Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Man Shockey must be high if he thinks Reese would even talk to him about coming back. He burned this bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgutmartyr Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Fuck Shockey. He was overrated when he was here, and looked like shit when he was gone. Talked about going to a better QB when he went to the Saints (but watching Brees chew that fuck out on the sidelines was fun, I'll admit that) and now he wants to come back!? No. I'd rather see Pascoe as our starter than that happening. Bear might not be an attraction in our offense, but at least he wouldn't be a distraction. If I want to see a circus, I'll go to one.

boohyah Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The tight end to bring back was Boss, not Shockey. But it's neither now. Giants just don't make a habit of bringing guys back and I agree with that habit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
