Plaxico Burress’ redemption tour joined WMVP in Chicago Tuesday, where he said the Bears were one of his top three destinations when the lockout ended.

Burress is a fan of Jay Cutler and says he’s received a lot of “love” from Bears fans via Twitter. Unfortunately for Burress, they don’t make the decisions.

Burress doesn’t fit the Mike Martz profile of a wide receiver, and Neil Hayes of the Chicago Sun-Times writes via sources the Bears would only want Burress “at a bargain basement price, if at all.”

Plaxico says his choice for a team won’t be all about the money.

“There are a lot of situations for me to go into. It’s not solely going to be based on how much I’m going to be making. It’s going to be based on me putting myself in a great situation,” Burress said.
