did i hear mort say we are near a deal w/giants for shockey

Getting Shockey,

Pros:
He can be an All-Prowl TE.
He can be the #2 receiver we need.
He is fiery and passionate.
He can blow open an Offense.
He likes and respects Payton.
He'll finally be with a very good QB. (Eli has come along but face it, he struggled before)

Cons:
He's a little bit of a hot head.
He can be controversial.
He does not play Defense.
He will be expensive.
We need a alot on Defense; a big body DT, a legitmate starting CB, a upgrade at LB.
He will be coming off an injury.

Now, pick the lesser of two evils. Do we turn away from a Pro-Bowl TE, that will make our Offense explode OR do we give up picks for what we need to build a Defense that's not the laughing stock of the league?
