Shockey does not have a legitimate gripe. He only attended the Super Bowl because the team begged him to. He was not attending practices and did not attend the other playoff games. Furthermore, Shockey himself expressed doubts about whether he would be able to stand on crutches on the sidelines throughout the whole game, which was why he watched from the box.

Shockey's a good player and I liked watching him play, but he is child, a drama queen, and is more trouble than he's worth. It seems pretty obvious to me that Eli Manning was a more relaxed quarterback without Shockey breathing down his neck, pressuring him to involve him in every play. Some people are just poisonous. As talented as he may be, having him around appears to be counterproductive.

Why give away a productive player for nothing? Keep Shockey -- he's a great pass catcher and I don't want to get nothing more than a second round pick for him. www.forgotten-ny.com

The problem with trading him now is the fact that he has killed his trade value by showing how much of an asshole he is. After breaking his leg, teams might have thought that he was an injury risk (he's also been hurt before), but now that he's gotten into fights with numerous staff on the Giants, no GM is going to want to take that risk.
