Giants Open to Return of Plaxico Burress

The New York Giants' season is over, and when they look back on this year, Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg will stand alone as the moment that transformed them from defending champs and No. 1 team in the league to just another postseason also ran.

But that doesn't mean the Giants are done with Burress. In fact, Giants general manager Jerry Reese said it's "absolutely" possible that Burress could be a Giant in 2009, and he told the New York Daily News that he thinks Burress is a huge part of the offense.

Don't he have jail time? no way he can get out of this.

**LarryNJ** · 01-12-2009, 02:39 PM

Yes he has a good chance of being in jail and not on the field. Even if he is available to be back, they are nuts to keep him. Not just because he cost his team a chance at repeating by shooting himself but because his attitude sucks. Missing practices, not calling in ect..... No one man is bigger than the team, cut his ass and move on.

Speaking of Jail, I heard Vick will be out this summer and more than likely reinstated for the 2009 Season.Wonder who would pick him up?..

One of the 3 i bet...Oakland,Detriot, or Cleveland..lol, Vick celebrating a TD in the Dogg Pound..now that's funny..

Maybe they will just use him for breeding

This just proves Teams will do anything to win

I thought it spoke volumes about San Diego, when Holmes got in trouble, Steelers took care of business (even though it was against the Giants). Bolt's Jackson gets a DUI (which in my opinion, is a bit worse, since it puts more people in danger) and he still plays.

I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Plax on any of the following teams:
> Raiders - he can get paid to do nothing, if he can deal with Al Davis
> Cowboys - they seem to like troubled receivers
> Bengals - they seem to like ex-cons

I would be shocked if he did more than 3 months

Eli Manning is as good as you without Burress. The Giants front office and coaching staff caught onto this fact last season and are smart enough to know that at this point in Eli's career, no Burress=worthless Eli. Boldin would help conceal Eli's shittyness a little, but still not like Burress.

Most, it's pretty sickening.

It spoke volumes about the Giants also, holding Burress out for just the first quarter against us, once Coughlin saw they couldn't do a single thing offensively, he brought him in for the rest of the game despite Burress embarassing Coughlin and the team earlier that week. Meanwhile we didn't even allow Holmes to suit up.

Letting Vincent Jackson play was classless but expected. Although it's kind of annoying that the league and media turn a blind eye to DUI's, especially during playoff time. He should've been suspended.

When I heard what manning said, I`m thinking that he was doing the right thing,he thought. How would you like to be the QB, and say something like " Screw that guy, he should rot in hell" then your front office rings him back? That would suck! I think manning is just going along with the program. Beside plax is good, he isn`t even great, so who cares?
