So, Plaxico Burress is accepting a plea bargain and pleading guilty to a lesser gun charge which will only take away two years of his freedom. When, or if, he returns to pro football, he’ll be 34-years old and depending on your perspective, very fresh or very rusty. Either way, it’s only a matter of time before Tony Dungy sets his sights on reforming the self-shooter, and ultimately, pitching his services to a guy because they once worked together.

A franchise quarterback precipitously becomes available in an otherwise uneventful team offseason so, naturally, you make a trade for said quarterback and in the process, fix a 25-year old problem. Then, not one, not two, but three wide receivers with Pro Bowl talent unfathomably follow suit. What do you do? (more…)

The last post of the week: something to ponder as you await the certain couch slouch and booze binge of this weekend.

Be forewarned that this weekend will predominantly be filled with will-they or won’t-they speculation as fans, media, and teams alike clamor about the future of Plaxico Burress. Oh, and something might happen on Monday, but I didn’t go to lawyer school so I have no fucking idea.

Enjoy your Plaxified weekend…

In the case that–now may or may not be decided on Monday–Plaxico Burress isn’t available to sign with the Bears because, you know, he goes to prison, ESPN Chicago’s Jeff Dickerson throws another name in the free agent wide receiver hat: ex-Titan and Ram Drew Bennett. (more…)

A Drew Rosenhaus tweet had identified that three teams were, indeed, interested in signing free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress, but did not specify which three teams those were. Now, ESPN is speculating that the three teams are the Bucs, Jets and Bears.

Based on a Scores Report article last week, when Rosenhaus stated he was pleased that a third team had entered into the mix, the Bucs and Jets were believed to be the initial two teams. Of course, then, this would make the Bears the more recent third team. (more…)

Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, apparently Plaxico Burress isn’t in the Bears plans, and thus, won’t be wearing blue and orange anytime soon. Well, maybe orange.

Jerry Angelo addressed the Plax-to-Bears possibility Tuesday:

“Because of the uncertainty of the future, how could you really say for sure if you went after him that that is going to manifest itself in the ’09 season?” Angelo said of Burress’ potential jail time. “I can’t say that. Nobody else can. I can’t really answer right now in terms of how we view him, but I am not looking at him as an option.”

Is it me, or after seven years, is J.A. finally starting to make sense?
