Someone familiar with Plaxico Burress’ thinking believes he prefers to avoid New York, to play in a warmer climate, and that his preference is to live near his offseason home in Miami. The person also says Burress knows he’d be better off far from the clutches of the New York media that remember every sordid detail of his Giants career. His past, were he to play elsewhere, is a short story. In New York, it would become a season-long theme. — NY Daily News

if the price is right, bring him aboard & let them compete

I don't see the need for him, personally. I think he's a progression stopper at this point.

EDIT: Then again, he's 34. If being in prison saved his body some years though, like being suspended did with Ricky, I say bring him in.ToddsPhins likes this. -

Iam really not about adding Vets to take the places of young vets..but I cannot help but be intrigued by the thought of Bob Sanders and Plax as additions...especially Sanders...theres a gamble I would take...finsbuck719 likes this. -
I wouldn't mind.

I think its more of a question do you want Burress over Moore or Wallace, I doubt Hartline will go anywhere. I have no issues what-so-ever with bringing him onto the team.
-
Moore and Wallace are still young and showed allot of green on the field last year. Can you imagine moving Burress to #2 and putting Bess into the slot ? Then you can bring in Hartline time to time to relieve. The only issue who will throw them the ball ?

I like Hartline, Bess, and Marshall as much as anyone but if youre telling me I can add a legit redzone threat who runs the fade and hard slant as well as anyone then tell me where I sign. Those are the two primary redzone routes you see run by receivers and Burress beats his man continuously on them. He will only make them better just as he did for Steve Smith of the Giants. His teammates liked him in NY, he just did a stupid thing and the only one he actually harmed was himself.
ToddsPhins and like this. -
Not to derail the thread, but it matters little at this point if we don't have the right man pulling the trigger. Does not good if the ball isn't being delivered accurately and on time (or at all).
If Plax weren't 34 and missing two seasons, I'd be all over it. He's huge yet has always been able to get down the field. He didn't practice at all during that 2007 season due injuries.....and dominated.
I think our receiver situation is actually pretty good. We could use the added dimension of speed there (all of the skill positions for that matter), but we're quite solid IMO.Frumundah Finnatic and texanphinatic like this. -

FTR, i wouldnt mind Plax.....but jamarcus?! Thats ridiculous. So tired of signing other teams garbage, especially teams that are WORSE than us. -
I don't see Burress and Marshall on the field at the same time.

.......and I'm not laughing with you. lol.
So what you're saying is he should be getting 1000+ yards in any other offense....... that he's a Reggie Wayne type receiver and Henne is holding him back? Please. -
