Agent: Two Teams Interested In Signing Burress

Although Plaxico Burress’ pending gun charge hasn’t been settled yet as his lawyer continues to try to resolve the case with New York law enforcement authorities, the former New York Giants wide receiver is already making plans. According to Burress’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, via his Twitter account, Burress has garnered interest from at least two teams, “that are very serious about signing him, so he has stayed in great shape.” Rosenhaus goes on to say that Burress got a call from an NFL head coach Thursday and has upcoming meetings scheduled with senior NFL executives. New York Jets team owner Woody Johnson recently told Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News that he wouldn’t stand in Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum’s way if he wants to sign Burress. The Jets also made an exploratory call to Rosenhaus prior to the NFL Draft. Of course, future NFL opportunities for Burress will hinge on a favorable outcome of his case as well as the severity of any potential league discipline from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
