In a shocking development to the ongoing Plaxico Burress saga, the Giants announced just a few moments ago that they have released the troubled receiver, just four months after he shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club.

“I am an optimist, and I believe most situations can be worked out,” said General Manager Jerry Reese. “We hung in there as long as we could in hopes that there could be a resolution to this situation other than the decision we made today to release Plaxico. It wasn’t to be, so now we have to move on. Like everybody else here, we want nothing but the best for Plaxico, and we are appreciative of the contributions he made to this franchise.”

More to come …

So burris is released by the giants so long as it ain't a typo. But what does that mean to the panthers. Really nothing. Panthers would not even touch burris right now even if they had the chance. Burris is facing charges of having a unregistered firearm. And he could face few years in jail if founf guilty. So now what?? Ya'll going to start a rumor bout how panthers need to go after burris now. LOL will not happen.

darn you beat me to the punch... that kind of f'ed up imo. I think this is a sign that hes bout to do some semi-heavy time.

They must know that he won't be around for the 2009 season at all due to jailtime and or suspension. I would have let him sit there on the roster through the draft to make people wonder about my draft intentions more (provided he didn't have any bonus they wanted to avoid paying).

Plax is going to be an Eagle or Dolphin.

Bears need a receiver.

Vick, Plex, Packman. Ten years ago a NFL player could be caught in a motel room with two hookers and a pound of crack and still play the next week. Those days are over and some of these guys don't realize this. I doubt Vick, Plex or Packman ever play in the NFL. Packman I'm almost sure of...if the Cowboys cut you, you have problems.

:banghead:Right now with burris and his legal troubles no one will take a chance on him. Unless all of sudden the DA in NY city decided to drop the whole matter. But I doubt it. The only way burris is lucky to avoid jail time is a plea bargin deal and community service upon that. Adn he will be on probation. But knowing since burris is a star with money. He might buy his way out like most stars do. But vick lol:out:. But even if was to get probation. the chance rogel godell could suspend him for the season aswell. But until burris gets his legal trouble resolved. No team is going to even touch him.:banghead::rant::ack2:

They had to get rid of him. Too much of a headache. I bet they sign Holt.

[Lilsmitty09]
