Plaxico Burress

unfounded rumor. To the best of my knowledge Burress never came to town.

Here is the latest from Insider today so it doesn't look likely for us:

Vikings Mar. 4 - The agent for Pittsburgh receiver Plaxico Burress has had preliminary talks with the Vikings about his client replacing Randy Moss. Michael Harrison told The Associated Press that Burress would not mind playing with quarterback Daunte Culpepper.
ESPN.com has confirmed that the contact with the Vikings was initiated by Harrison. "Plaxico's interested in being in Minnesota," Harrison said. "I think it is a good fit for both sides."

The Giants are also interested in Burress, but will likely take a wait-and-see approach until his market is set, The New York Daily News reports. "We're chatting," Harrison told the Daily News. "We're feeling each other out. We're talking numbers. I don't know if they're in our ballpark, but they're trying to put something together that would make a little sense for us."

Thats the thing with Burress...I guarantee he's probably asking for a 25 million dollar contract with like a 10 million dollar signing bonus.
Way too steep in our book.

As much as I like him as a player, and not so much off the field, its in the Texans best interest to let this one fly.
Work on your recievers via the draft.
 
if we can sign Plaxico then we can draft Alex Barron form Florida State which would a upgrade over Seth Wand and daft a wr,and a cb in the second and third round

In that case I hope we don't get Plaxico. Barron is okay but not the equal to some of the great LT's and he will still be a rookie LT. I don't think Carr could survive another rookie LT... in four years have three rookie LT's???

The Texans pocket was mostly destroyed up the middle. Give the Texans a new guard/center and give Seth Wand a second year. Also give us a healthy Joppru at TE.
 
I am thinking he is going to cost too much.. Also I am thinking that the Texans either 1) want to see if our young guys are going to step up..or 2) draft one (not a 1st rounder) maybe 2nd or so.

well depending on the Sharper/foreman situation.. if we clear room there...who knows.
 
I dont think that Burress would want to come into a situation where he couldnt compete for the #1 spot. If he wanted to be a #2 receiver he would have stayed in Pitt and competed for a SB. He must be in search of a new place where he can be the #1 go to target.
 
Burress wants to be a number 1, not a number 2 and that is the major problem in trying to acquire him...
 
And the place most likely to give him that big contract and the #1 WR position is Minnesota, plus throwing in the oppourtunity to play with pro bowl Qb Daunte Culpepper is an added incentive to sweeten the deal.

IMO, if we want an experienced and speedy #2 WR that wouldn't demand too much money from the UFA free agent pool. Then my choices would be either Travis Taylor of the Baltimoore Ravens or Charles Lee of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
 
Burress wants to go to a place that throws the ball. Pitt. is going to back to the days where the QB throws the ball 15-20 times a game and runs the ball 35-45 times a game. Thats why he is leaving Pitt.

Like I said before, this is only MY opinion :wacko:
 
I pray that some in the Texans front will be reading our conversations! GO AND GET PLACXIO BURRESS!!! Then we could sign and trade bradford and sharper for a 1st round draft pick and possibly get DJ JOHNSON from our native LONGHORNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Burress would be an amazing number 2 reciever, but chances are he will not admit the fact that he is better suited to that role. I doubt he comes here unless he gets really bad offers.
 
This is a test question.

Why is it that Plaxico Burress is still unsigned by any of the 32 teams?

a) He wants too much money
b) He thinks the word 'team' has the letter 'I' in it.
c) He thinks he deserves to be the #1 receiver
d) All of the above
 
I'll choose A and C. It went unnoticed last season, but he did put the team first and started blocking more for the run game instead of throwing a temper tantrum about him not getting the ball enough. It's too bad it's not paying off for him though :(
 
Giants | Withdraw Offer from Burress - from www.KFFL.com
Thu, 10 Mar 2005 11:05:30 -0800

Michael Eisen, of Giants.com, reports the New York Giants have ended their pursuit of free agent WR Plaxico Burress (Steelers), who visited the team Wednesday, March 9. "The New York Giants are no longer interested in free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress and have withdrawn their offer," general manager Ernie Accorsi said.


MAN WTF?!?!?!?!

The Vikings don't want him, the Giants don't want him....ya know what, someone call CC and tell him to go get Plax, he just wants to play football. :heh: :thumbup
 
A Giants offense with Burress would of been good: Manning, Barber, Shockey and Burress.

There maybe something we dont know about.
 
He has been known to have some attitude issues but he was a model citizen and improved his run blocking this year. Teams might think he is acting "nice" since it is a contract year. All I know is that Hines Ward will not be nearly as open without him.
 
He really didn't change much at all. He was still reluctant to practice for reasons such as "it's hot out there"

And when the steelers lost to the pats, he blamed the team for not having him be a big enough part of the offense. It's more of a fantasy than anything to think he has reformed and all, but he's still the same old selfish plaxico who is all about "me" instead of "we"

This is the guy who skipped a meeting witht he Giants because he had "the flu" (I used that excuse last week) Nothing about this guy says he is after anything other than money
