The following is a list of WR’s talented enough to catch 8 TD passes in a season with Sanchez throwing them the ball:

Santonio Holmes
Plaxico Burress

Plax being Plax. Desperate, had an opportunity to be with Jets for a few years, but showed his true colors.

Learn your lessons kids. Opportunities like his are rare, don’t blow them. Be humble.

Regretting your attitude with the Jets now Plax?

Resume for Plax: MSU–JERK, Steelers–Bigger JERK, Giants Biggest JERK, Jets– Old, Slow, Stupid, Present Day–Unemployed, Unemployable, in OR out of The NFL. I do NOT understand the big mystery.

I think there is something a lot of people are overlooking.

The main problem is that while teams could use him as a #3 to #5 WR, those teams also need those guys to be able to play ST at least some of the time. With roster spots being tight, no one is going to be able to use Plax unless they get hit hard with season ending injuries to their top guys.

@snoop24 tony romo just threw five picks in one game. RG3 hasnt done that. Cowboys suck.

Is it sports hate, ignorance, or just plain hate that prompts some of you to post such negative and mean comments. The man is simply trying to salvage what he can of his damaged career. I for one wish him luck.

They guy shot himself in the leg….the embarrassment should have been enough punishment. Besides a accident he hasn’t had any issues in what 10+ year career. Kenny britt is in the league and he’s been busted twice and it take 3 offenses before we know about so that’s what 5 times hes screwed up in a 4 year career. I have no ideas why a team like buffalo,Minnesota,Cleveland or even Tennessee would not jump all over him or at least give him a workout.

Egotistical divas like TO, Chad, and Plax are learning the hard way their mouths and attitudes are catching up with them. They held franchises hostage and now it’s payback time.

Let this be a lesson to young players (and non-players), burning bridges with your employer(s), especially in an industry where everyone knows and talks with one another is a terrible idea.

After the screw ups by the Cowboys receivers on Monday night, they should call him. In fact, they should have brought him into camp. I bet Garrett and Witten would veto that move, but Jerry Jones calls the shots. Call him Jerry!

I wish the Eagles would sign him that way maybe they could score touchdowns instead of having to settle for fieldgoals.

All the shooting jokes aside, the problem with Plax is simple… no team wants to touch him due to the baggage he carries from his days with Pittsburg and NYG. He’s made his bed; now he needs to lie in it. Did he really think his SB ring(s) would simply wash away all those years of insubordination? I mean, really, this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, especially himself.

Plaxico would be great here in Dallas! Lets go Cowboys!

and still I am still trying to figure out why the first comment is talking about romo and rg3 in a purely idiotic fashion never mind nothing to do with the article….

is not deleted yet….

when perfectly topical comments get deleted in minutes, like this one will be AGAIN

I think Cleveland should at least give him a work out. I can’t see a reason not to check this guy out when he has the things this team is missing. plaxico is what there rookie qb needs to be able to compete well in this league

“Plaxico says he’s back to being the player he knows he can be”…….really?…I mean….really?

The harsh reality is that those checks have stopped coming. Mr. Burris is likely broke or on route to ‘regular guy” status. Reality check time for Plaxico.

What with that full education of yours, I’m sure you will be quite qualified to work at the local gas station pimping that spray that removes the crud from your headlights.

Romo has not a lot heart, the attitude, the clutch ability, the greatness. Rg3 is an ass clown. Rg3 is the bottom qb in the east and watching him magnifies the ineptitude of his skills. Rg3 frowns in his sleep at the brilliance of Romos choices. The Redskins still suck!!!!!! You’ve been warned!!!!!!

The hell, the articles about plaxico fool….

Yep. Blaxico is back to being the receiver he knows he can be – an unemployable one whom nobody wants on his team.

Fact of the matter is that he was never that great to begin with. Nothing more than a slightly above-average possession receiver with a poor work ethic and bad attitude.

By: gadzod

gadzod — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 14:40:02 +0000

I would lobby for him to come to Buffalo, but we have a QB that can’t throw 40 yards…..if he ends up throwing 40 yards, it won’t be accurate. In fact, it will end up out of bounds :-/

@mrbigass-

How about you just retire from whatever you do for a living?

See how easy it is to tell other people what to do with their lives?

Who cares why he wants/needs to play? The fact is that he does, and there are 50 recievers in the league, at least, who have less talent than him and are probably making more money than he would want who have jobs.

It’s not shocking at all. He’s a 35 year old head case.
What the media really finds shocking is that NFL teams aren’t taking the media’s advice and doing what the media thinks they should do.
That’s the only reason it’s a story.
No one else cares. Except Plaxico.

Maybe the bigger reason these older guys aren’t getting a look is that so many good receivers came in to the league over the last 2 years.

I’d take a chance on him. Its a shot in the dark, but may be worth the risk.

By: audient

Cleveland should give him a look. Mo Mass is constantly hurt, Greg Little is constantly dropping, and everyone else is a rookie. One set of experienced sure hands might make some sense, even if he isn’t everything he used to be. He’s done it before.

I feel for Plax. Did his time, sort of straightened out. He scored 8TDs for the Jets with ring rust. Give him another chance. But the Jets logic is lose a WR, pick up a fullback.
Suck for Geno Smith?

cledawg — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:41:58 +0000

He wont get a shot with a top tier team. I know the Browns need a vet receiver to help mentor Raw players Greg “butterfingers” Little, and Josh Gordon. Gordon I feel can be something in this league. A 1 year mentor type deal why not

By: bathroomben7

bathroomben7 — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 13:39:39 +0000

It’s really that surprising to you Florio that no teams want to bring in a 35 year old unreformed ex-con with chronic foot problems and who hasn’t had a 1,000 yard season since 2007? You must have been equally surprised when no one signed Tiki Barber.

Jacksonville can use a reciever, and ummm a QB…!
