A 2002 first-round pick (14th overall) out of the University of Miami by the New York Giants, Shockey has 510 receptions for 5,688 yards and 33 touchdowns during his nine-year career.
Shockey has been named to four Pro Bowl teams, and won Super Bowl rings with the Giants (2007) and New Orleans (2009), where he's spent the last three seasons.
Due $4.78 million in total compensation in 2011, the Saints released Shockey on February 22.
