Would you give him a look? Assuming he doesn't go to Jail and serves his suspension which would probably be between 4-6 weeks IMO. I am starting this now before ESPN links us with him as a possible destination. I think he would be a great addition. Moss, Burress, Welker, Galloway, Lewis...Oh MY. Just me fantasizing dont kill me too much.

But would his ego be in check?

We don't need him. And I don't want him.

While BB has had success dealing with malcontents, Burress is a guy who's been a pain in the ass for both the Steelers and the Giants. If those teams couldn't keep him under control, I would think New England would consider it a very bad risk. I'd pass on him if it were up to me. Some people just stay stupid all their lives, and Burress seems to be one of them.

Cant argue with that. I don't think Plax will be a problem for any team if he accepts what ever punishment he gets, but if tries to appeal a suspension I don't think he'd learn his record. I will say he is a warrior the way he played in the playoffs that year but does the risk outweigh the reward? I think the team that ultimately gives him a chance should ask themselves that question a million times. I would probably give him a deal similar to the one we gave Moss the first time or maybe T.O.'s Deal up in Buffalo.

No thanks. You might as well explore a trade for Chad Johnson if you're willing to sign Plaxico Burress. I'll pass on both scenarios. The Patriots won't want the potential distraction each of these players could create.

If he gets out of line we will make him shoot himself in the leg again

Burress doesn't cost anything in draft picks or players. I can see opposing teams just deciding send 10 men at Brady and hoping they guess right with the 11th if you had a receiving crew of

Moss
Galloway
Welker
Burress
Faulk

On the field. It's not as if any team in the league could cover that group. It'd be like playing Madden. The only reason I don't like it is that I don't trust those who don't learn from past mistakes. I've been easier on T.O. because he tends to behave year 1 so I don't mind the idea of 1 year deals with someone of his mindset.

only if vick's throwing him the rock.

Take out Burress and add Lewis, Taylor or one of the new TEs. Don't need Burress, don't want to pay him, don't want him around. He's lucky he didn't shoot himself in the femoral artery.
