Plaxico Burress - Where will he land?

With incentive to behave and produce, Plaxico Burress could be great bargain!

Next stop: Many teams are rumored to have interest in Burress, and the Eagles and Rams have been mentioned as the most likely landing spots. Burress could give the Eagles a big threat in the red zone and would be able to work with Michael Vick, who counseled him during Burress’ imprisonment. The Rams could use Burress to fill a major need for a big, established receiver—a guy who would aid in Sam Bradford’s development.

But don’t overlook a couple of other teams that also could be excellent fits. For a number of years, the Texans have been trying to find a high-level receiver to play opposite Andre Johnson. If Burress can play like he did before his incarceration, he would be the perfect pickup for Houston.

The Titans are another team that would make sense. If rookie quarterback Jake Locker ends up starting, he’ll need a big, security-blanket type of receiver like Burress. And with Kenny Britt being arrested again on Wednesday, he could face a suspension by the NFL. If that happens, the Titans would desperately need receiving talent to fill the void. Burress also could advise the troubled Britt about making better decisions off the field.

Bottom line: There is no guarantee Burress will be a model citizen or become the player he was before he got into trouble. But he has every incentive to behave off the field and produce on the field because he won’t command big money until he proves himself for a year or two. In the end, he could be a great bargain for the team that signs him.

I forgot we let him go, what a non story, or plain forgetfulness on my part

I'm a bit confused. Is there two Plaxico Burress or did he play both for the Giants and the Jets? I was browsing using Google search and there is some rumor that he might go back to the Giants.
To bad that a good player cannot stay out of trouble. Would he be a good addition to the Jets WR corp if he were disciplined?

he was with the Gaints but wont be going back. He was with the jets last yr, and IMO....he was a good player and person for the Jets. I wish the jets would have signed him for another year.
