Saints close to getting Shockey from Giants

FOXSports.com has learned that New Orleans early this week offered the Giants a second-round pick in today's draft as well as either a sixth-rounder this year or a fifth in 2009 to get the deal sealed. Despite reports to the contrary, the deal has been on the table for quite some time and remains available today.

The Cowboys and Titans have a deal in place that would send the oft-troubled cornerback and return specialist to Dallas in exchange for a 4th-round pick at this Saturday's draft, sources told FOXSports.com. If Jones is reinstated and plays for the Cowboys this year, then Dallas will also send a 6th-round pick to Tennessee in 2009.

Also, Falcons sources said that they will select Matt Ryan in the No. 3 spot, should he still be available. Injury concerns with Glenn Dorsey turned Atlanta away from the LSU defensive tackle.
