Not so coincental news regarding Plax given what is going on this week.

Plax wants to return

I cant see him returning to the Giants. Esp after this year with three star receivers now and Plax wouldnt fit with them. One wonders what would've happened if he came back to the Giants this year instead of signing with the Jets.

Plax signs with the Jets. 1year, 3mil. So Plax wont be leaving New Giants staidum after all.

A risk for the Jets as Plax is probably a downgrade from Braylon Edwards who surely wont be back now. THis also means that the Jets are out of the Randy Moss picture most likely.

This actually isnt a shock since while most of the Giants were for Plax returning, Eli didnt seem to be that enamored with it.

Speculation on twitter that the Giants are actually very interested in Plax now. And the feeling may be more than mutual.

Of course this could also be a message to the Eagles who have been linked to Plax.

I think the Eagles is just talk from Plax's camp: they would like to play there. The Eagles have:

WR DeSean Jackson
WR Jeremy Maclin
WR Jason Avant

TE Brent Celek
TE Clay Harbor

Jackson is 25 and Maclin is 23. They both young and pretty damn good. It's tough to see Plex taking a spot from them.

Avant is 28 and has been pretty solid in te #3 WR role.

Celek is a pretty fine TE when healthy.

There also was talk that Jackson needs a new contract.

Just doesn't seem like a good fit for a 34 year old WR.

Plax is a free man as of yesterday and speculation is rampant over where he'll go. He's said to want to leave NY. (Can you really blame him). Although depending on what Giant you talk to, they either want him or they accept that he's going to play for another team.

I say the favorites right now are the Eagles. He hinted at that by wearing a Phillies cap yesterday.

Quote:

The New York Post suggests "there is growing support within the Giants organization" to re-sign Plaxico Burress after he's released from the Oneida Correctional Facility on June 6.
Co-owners Steve Tisch and John Mara are sympathetic to Burress, and GM Jerry Reese acknowledged Monday that the team would at least consider bringing the troubled receiver back. Plax can look to Michael Vick for hope of a second chance in the NFL. The big difference, however, is that Vick was 29 when he signed with the Eagles while Plax turns 34 this summer.

I don't know. Depends on if Steve Smith is healthy and if the Giants are able to resign him. If not, I can see Plax being a possible part of the Giants. With that support, I can see a second chance regardless.

I still dont think he'll be able to replicate Vick's resurrection both on and off the field though.

Too bad ABC doesn't have the SB this season, Plax's tearful puff piece would be perfect with Chris Connelly and his somber piano backing music. Tom Rinaldi can step in if Chris was otherwise predisposed.

Plax sort of resurfaces. I cant see him in a pivotal role again unlike Vick, though. His ship has sailed. Still I wouldnt be shocked if a sucker for a team tries to sign him. Like Oakland.

He's off to the slammer.

I hope some lessons get learned out of this. There really are far too many guns being carried around in this country, and far too many of them by people who are fucking dumb about handling them and/or just fucking dumb.

I doubt it.

I have a feeling we wont be seeing Plax any time soon.

Luckily Pierce wont be charged for his actions. A huge relief there.

Goodall is really laying down the law here. Between Plax and Donte Stallworth, he's really taking action on stupidity.

I think there's a chance we may have seen the last of Plax in the NFL. Interest has faded. Even the Jets have rejected him it appears.

It's Mike Tannenbaum at work. Do whatever you can to make a splash and keep the New Yorkers happy... even if it ultimately backfires on you.

So the Jets are now in conflict because of Plax. But this is the risk that comes with wooing someone like Plax. One half of the organization doesn't want him (those in the right), and those who have the forgive and forget mentality.

Its things like this that make the Jets, a second-rate organization.

Here's hoping Plax does end up in the Jets. For the trainwreck factor mainly.
