The Facts:
When Shockey finagled a trade from the Giants to the Saints last year, Shockey apparently expected a new contract. He didn’t get one. After completing his first season in New Orleans, Shockey apparently expects a new contract. As we hear it, he isn’t getting one.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to PFT's Mike Florio, Shockey is due to earn a base salary of $2.725 million in 2009, along with a $500,000 reporting bonus. Because the Giants took the hit arising from Shockey’s prorated bonuses under his current deal, Shockey’s cap number is only $3.25 million this year. Next year, Shockey’s base salary jumps to $3.825 million -- a price that the Saints might not be willing to pay. Indeed, Florio reports, there’s a belief in New Orleans that Shockey might have only one solid season left in him, and definitely not enough to justify nearly $4 million in 2010.
