Jeremy Shockey traded from New York Giants to New Orleans Saints for a 2nd and 5th round draft pick in 2009. Shockey, 28, a four-time Pro Bowler, has 371 catches for 4,228 yards and 27 touchdowns in his six-year NFL career. He grew disgruntled with the Giants because he wanted to be more involved with some downfield passing while New York valued his run blocking.
Jason Taylor traded from Miami Dolphins to Washington Redskins for a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round choice in 2010. Taylor has started 130 consecutive games, and his 114 career sacks are 14th all-time.
Brian Urlacher resigned with the Chicago bears to terms on a revised contract, which includes a one-year extension. Mr. Urlacher, 30, had four years and approximately $25.5 million remaining on his contract. Under the terms of the upgraded deal, Urlacher will receive a $6 million signing bonus along with a $1 million bump in salary each of the next four years. The sides also have agreed to extend the pact into 2012, at a salary of $7.5 million. Brian can earn an additional $500,000 in a workout bonus in 2012.
The Los Angeles Clippers acquired Marcus Camby, the NBA’s leading shot-blocker the past three seasons, from the Denver Nuggets last Tuesday for the option to exchange second-round picks with the Clippers in 2010. Camby, a 6-foot-11, 235-pounder, averaged 9.1 points, 13.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 3.61 blocked shots last season, his sixth with the Nuggets. He joined Dikembe Mutombo as the only player to lead the NBA in blocked shots for three straight seasons, and his four blocked shot titles are tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Mark Eaton for the most in league history. The 33-year-old Camby was the second big-name player to join the Clippers this month. Baron Davis left Golden State to sign a five-year, $65 million contract with his hometown team.
