His height alone 6’7″ should draw some kind of interest, last year 8 touchdowns and almost 14 yards per catch aren’t bad stats, there are second stringers last year that don’t have those kind of numbers, I hope someone gives him a chance, if he can’t cut it well then we will know.

You just can’t fix stupid. Character is who you are when it ain’t going your way and this guy simply has nothing.

Plaxico went in that club with a gun an he was wrong… That said I got shot in the leg almost in the same spot he did TRUST ME!!! Plaxico paid for having that gun because he was HURT very bad. Putting him in Jail was excessive an not letting him finish his career on his own terms IS OUT RAGEOUS. The only person Plaxico ever hurt was him self… No one else has to punish him

James Harrison doesn’t know who Plaxico Burress is.

What we all forget in the Plaxico, Chad Johnson, Terrell Owens, conversation is these guys are guys who catch balls from QBs. If the QB sucks Nobody knows these guys. Yes some are better than others but the QB is the difference. Old WRs eventually are just old WRs

Burress had talent some years ago but, at 35, he’s a bit long in the tooth now. His game antics and fines are well-documented and his personal brushes with the law and his imprisonment are too. There’s a lot of baggage w/Burress and it’s all of his own making. For him to play “Take a Chance on Me” now is ridiculous. It would help if he’d eat some humble pie for a change, rather than allow that huge mouth of his to rattle on.

Plaxico Burress knows why he is not getting called…..he just does not want to admit it !The NFL is a young mans game and 35 is NOT a young man in the NFL.He has a history of locker room and off field issues that are not worth dealing with in the future with another team.He is just not worth the NFL minimum and possibly would not even work for that amount ! Forget it !

The Jags should reach out to him. He could make Gabbert look good in the red zone.

If he bulked up, he would make a decent TE. He already has most of the size, 10-15 more pounds would make him a decent receiving TE. His speed as a TE would be more than adequate, plus he probably runs better routes than most. He could be used like an Aaron Hernandez

Someone that low on the depth chart pretty much has to play special teams. I don’t think Plex has that kind of talent anymore.

When your 30 and a top WR and you blow off meeting and just pay the fine, no one cares. But when you spend two years in prision and are suppose to be a changed man and still do the same thing with the Jets, will less skills. People tent to not be as forgiving…

Not worth the trouble is dead on.

Considering his old age who does he think he is, Donald Driver?

I think that the fact he doesn’t know why no one wants him explains why no one wants him.

He should be surprised, with how bad the Jags and Browns are you’d think they’d at least give Plax a shot.

35 isn’t old. Jerry Jones didn’t begin babbling incoherently about glory holes until he was twice that old.

He’s just now figuring out that teams won’t pay for a migraine headache like him. He and T.O. are bookends, they both were barely worth the turmoil when they were at their best. Time to go get a real job.

He’d look good back in the Black and Gold, but we have a better chance of seeing Nein O’Donnell coming back lmao.

Plaxico got effed good. The man lost two years of his life and a chance to make millions.

Now he is blackballed, no one will give him a chance. It’s a shame. His penalty far outweighed the crime.

He was robbed.

Giants should bring him back. He would be number 7 on depth chart though

Yeah he’s not great, but if the Eagles need to replace Riley Cooper as a tall, goalline #4 wr, I can’t think of anyone else. Its either him or Marvin Mcnutts.

this guys still a weapon, good teammate too, a real straight shooter, the league has ammunition not to sign him with his personal life backfiring on him. hope he doesn’t have to bite the bullet on this one, aim high plax you’ll get a shot eventually.

It’s all about the red zone. He is a threat within 15-20. It’s worth a shot. Maybe the niners. Share the load with Akers?? Maybe cut the 35+ field goals ….. Just saying.

I hear the Panthers may be kicking the tires on him..I still say my Broncos need to add a reciever

=================================

Possibly, but the Broncos have two young outstanding receivers right now…..Thomas and Decker…..but no one really knows that yet. If Peyton is as good as the Peyton of old, these two will have breakout seasons.

I watched Decker play for the Gophers, and he was outstanding. He had a very respectable year last year with Tebow as QB. Now that he has a guy like Manning throwing, I’m very excited for him. I’m a Vikings fan, but I will be looking for great things from the Decker/Manning/Thomas trio.

Where is Houston … Johnson hurt already and Walter is the #2. If they think they have the AFC south won already they better think again especially if Chris Johnson gets on track.

He can give a team looking for a good receiver a SHOT in the arm.

I heard one NFL analyst explain that while he does one thing very well (red zone fade pattern) he doesn’t have the speed or stamina to be a full time player should the #1 or 2 WR go down, and can’t play special teams. Plus he may or may not be willing to sign for veteran minimum. So that explains it, for now.

He probably will be signed when someone gets hurt later on though.*
