Jason Taylor/Jeremy Shockey NFC Trades, Which Team Got the Better Player?

As everyone know's...

Jason Taylor has been traded from Miami to Washington and

Jeremy Shockey has been traded from NYG to New Orleans

Which team got the better player?

Lets start with Jeremy Shockey...

He was at one point one of the best tight ends that the NFL projected...as we seen in last years Super Bowl, it's now a different story..Seeing that he was injured lets give him the benefit of the doubt that he's still in good playing form...so here's his last season stats...

Rec-57 / Yds-619 / Avg 10.9 / Td's 3

Lets take a look at Tight Ends within the same caliber such as Antonio Gates. Gates triples Shockey's Td's, had 28 more receptions, 365 more yards and actually made a good asset to the Chargers team. 

We don't know if Shockey can contribute those type of numbers to the New Orleans Saints.  With McAllister, Bush, Colston, Patten, and now Shockey on the same roster opposing defenses will have their hand's full.

Can Shockey be in his "prime time" Giants form with this New Orleans Offense? 

Now to Jason Taylor...

This Defensive End has been wanting out of Miami for quite some time now, and with last seasons Dolphins performance, who can blame him?  The Redskins make an awesome move to get the dominant Defensive End. 

Last Season Jason Taylor put up 56 Tackles, 11 Sacks, four Forced Fumbles, and one Interception.  Those stats from last season mirror the stats of the retired Michael Strahan, and everyone knows Michael Strahan had a great season. 

Depending where Shockey will line up, it'll be a good showdown when the Redskins take on the Saints Sept. 14.

To sum it all up, it's clear as day here that the Redskins definitely got the better player in this situation.  Not taking anything away from Jeremy Shockey, BUT Jason Taylor in my eyes is the better contributor.
