Jeremy Shockey, 27, remains a candidate to be traded on draft weekend. The Giants won a Super Bowl without him, and they have another capable tight end, Kevin Boss, who is younger (24) and has a smaller contract. It can't be ignored that the play of QB Eli Manning improved last season after Shockey was sidelined with a broken leg. If the Giants keep Shockey, they will be keeping an emotional player who may no longer feel wanted. And there is a market for him. The Saints -- whose coach, Sean Payton, was the Giants' offensive coordinator during Shockey's rookie season -- are interested. . . .
