The Giants, at least Justin Tuck, are feeling overlooked in the NFC East despite being the defending Super Bowl Champions. "Maybe it's because Dallas tried to buy a Super Bowl this year," Tuck said right after reporting to camp Thursday.

Plaxico Burress, who has been campaigning for a new contract, told the Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., that he will report to training camp on time when it begins Thursday. "I'm going to be at camp. I'm going to get out and practice," Burress told The Star-Ledger. "I said that I may not have, but the smarter thing for me to do is to show up and show my teammates I'm ready to play football." He still won't be happy with his contract situation however. "It shouldn't have gotten to this point. It just shows me as a person how important I really am to them," Burress told the newspaper. "This thing's a two-way street. It's not a one-way. ... It just opens your eyes a little bit to the people you're walking around with. You look them in the face and they smile at you."

Jeremy Shockey was traded to the Saints for two draft picks Monday. The Giants will receive second- and fifth-round picks in the 2009 draft. The deal must be approved by the league and is contingent on Shockey passing a physical. Shockey, a four-time Pro Bowl selection who spent six seasons with the Giants, broke his leg against the Washington Redskins on Dec. 16.

Former Chargers tackle Shane Olivea agreed to terms with the Giants on Thursday. Olivea?s agent, Kenny Zuckerman, confirmed the agreement to PA SportsTicker, saying Olivea will sign a deal after passing a physical and a workout. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but ESPN.com reported it is for one year.
