Skins4ever1 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/sports/comments/saints-enter-the-lito-shuffle/ TAMPA - Word is the New Orleans Saints have entered the bidding for Eagles cornerback Lito Sheppard. That’s not good news for the Bucs. The Saints pick well ahead of the Bucs and own the 40th overall pick in the second round. That’s believed to be what they’re offering for Sheppard, and it’s obviously a better offer than the Bucs have so far mustered. The Bucs are believed to have offered their second-round pick, which is No. 52 overall. The Eagles would like two picks in return for Sheppard because that’s what the Falcons got for DeAngel Hall, who went to the Raiders for a second-round pick in this year’s draft and a fifth-round pick in the 2009 draft. So far, the best offer the Eagles have fielded is for just a second-round pick. The Eagles are believed to be seeking an answer from the Bucs as to whether their reported offer of a second-round pick is their best and final offer. If not, this thing could sway back in favor of the Bucs. If so, the Saints could end up with Sheppard. We’ll try to keep you informed of all that’s happening on this front but a good guess is that the Eagles will take this to the last minute tomorrow. And since they’re seeking primarily a second-round pick for Sheppard, this could drag on well into tomorrow evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I thought the Saints were offering their second rounder for Shockey? *By the way, you might as well change your name at this point. You clearly don't fool any Skins fans, and the whole schtick reflects poorly on the reasonable Eagles fans who post here. It's a pretty lame move, KingPaulii.

Fletch_Lives59 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 NFL Network just said that the Saints were trying to make a deal for Shockey... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptr77 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 According to PFW apparently the giants own that pick now, lol. I think there is a just a lot of draft hype and lies being spun right now by GMs and reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 It has been reported that the second rounder wasn't enough for Shockey. The Giants were turning it down. Maybe the Saints added more to it like a third. I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying the second and other picks (they have no fourth). Still don't believe it as it hasn't been announced but if there is a deal it will be for sure more than a second according to reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
