Buzz: Giants May Be Interested in Plaxico
Former Giants WR Plaxico Burress may get released from prison as early as this month. If so, there will be many NFL teams vying for his services.
Will the Giants be one of them…?
The Post’s George Willis thinks they might be…..
The development of the Giants’ wide receivers was probably the most pleasant surprise of the 2009 season. But that won’t keep the Giants from being interested in re-signing Plaxico Burress when he finishes his prison stint for gun possession.
A person who has visited Burress at the Oneida Correctional Facility in Rome said Burress is expected to be released within “two or three weeks,” his two-year sentence reduced for good behavior.
It’s suspected Burress will get out under a work-release program. It’s unclear when he might be eligible to return to the NFL, as he most certainly faces disciplinary action by Commissioner Roger Goodell for shooting himself in the leg with an unregistered gun in 2008.
When Burress does become eligible to sign with an NFL club, Giants general manager Jerry Reese yesterday said, “We’ll definitely investigate it.”
