Plaxico Burress to be released on Good Behavior

Good for him. That was bull going to jail that long when others get much less for much more.

Giants will sign him.

maybe the giants will install the Gun Offense when they resign him...

So considering the improbable Vick turn-around, what are the thoughts on bringing in Plaxico?

Cons... he's 33, out of the league for 2 years and could still be having maturity issues.

Pros... if he has stayed in shape (could be a big if), he's huge, stretches the field (great for our running WCO), has great hands and will most likely be pretty cheap until he proves he can still play.

Whoever our QB is, Plax is a huge target and that is never a bad thing. Now that a precedent has been set that players can come back from prison and be successful, why shouldn't we roll the dice if we can get him on the cheap.

Oh it certainly can be a bad thing sometimes. Just ask Plax.
He will go to the Jets, Raiders, or Bengals

Only if THAT can be used as his team profile pic!

He'd be worth a look but doubt the Niners are interested though. I think our receiver core along with tight ends V. Davis and D. Walker is pretty stout. Could use a veteran presense no doubt but don't think Plexico is that type of role model.

Typical New York eye-for-a-tooth justice, just despicable. Soon they'll be cutting off hands for petty theft.

How is the bullet hole in the leg healing/healed?
With the way he shoots I can see why he is not a QB.

I just wonder how his mother came of with the name "Plaxico"? Quite the unique name for a child.
Didn't see this one coming

I am pretty sure it is a Aztec name. And so it probably means something...most native names do.

I like Aztec names myself, including Plaxico

not when your TE is faster than all of your receivers. crabs is iffy and there is no deep threat guy. I doubt Plax will come to us but we need to find a lot of help.
