New York Giants letting Plaxico Burress go?

February 26, 2009

With all of Plaxico’s problems with the law lately, it certainly looks like the Giants have decided to move on without their primary receiver.

As unfortunate as it is, looks like the New York Giants have decided to plan for the future without the very guy who caught that game-winning touchdown that earned Eli Manning his very first Super Bowl championship ring.

Yes, Plaxico Burress, the guy who technically won Super Bowl XLII for New York, is no longer included in the Giants’ plans. For a guy who has been sued at least nine times over the past six years, I guess it was only a matter of time before the Giants exclude Plaxico completely.

According to the Giants organization, Burress has brought all these upon himself. Apparently, Burress, amidst all of his troubles on and off the field, has continued to refuse any assistance being offered to him by the Giants organization or anyone outside for that matter. Heck, he has even refused to hire someone to clean up his shit when he could’ve just easily have done it painlessly. He’d rather handle them on his own.

‘’He won’t let anyone help him,’’ said one longtime member of the Giants organization. ‘’He’s a loner by nature, so he doesn’t trust anyone unless they grew up with him.’’

That’s probably the reason why the Giants have decided to exclude Burress completely. The Giants had only minimal contact with the troubled receiver since their campaign ended in January and since the guy felt he can go AWOL so that he could drop off his son at school, why would the entire Giants organization continue to fuck themselves up longer dealing with this dude?

Burress’ agent Drew Rosenhaus, probably seeing what’s coming next for his client, started sending a letter to all 32 NFL teams indicating that his client was tradeable. Of course, since Burress is still under contract to the Giants, they quickly reminded Rosenhaus that he still needs their permission to do such a thing.

I wonder if this will push Tom Coughlin over the edge again?
