The Facts:
This flies in the face of everything that has happened in recent weeks, including that Shockey-[GM Jerry] Reese shouting match that was witnessed by several players. But a source that has been accurate much of the time says the Giants have given up efforts to try to trade the tight end, and that Shockey will stay put.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Record staffer Vinny DiTrani went on to speculate that Reese could not get back in return what he wanted for Shockey. There were recent rumors suggesting a very complicated multi-team deal was in the works, one which relied on a lot of things falling into place. One problem, however, may have been Shockey's ankle and his inability to pass a team physical. ... Whether he remains a Giant or moves on, it's safe to say we'll be hearing more about this situation when the Giants open training camp. Stay tuned.
