The New York Giants agreed yesterday to trade Jeremy Shockey, their once-dominant tight end who missed the team's Super Bowl run last season and recently was at odds with club officials, to the New Orleans Saints.
The Saints sent second- and fifth-round draft choices next year to the Giants in the deal, which was contingent on Shockey passing a physical and league approval. . . .
