Now I'll come out and say it. If he is willing to sign a one-year deal, there is no WAY the Steelers should not get involved here. Their window is now - get his #### back into the fold. Let him walk next year.
i think the wilson signing precludes that. its pretty clear from there being no communication between the steelers and plax's agent, and the quick signing of wilson, that there was a firm decision made to not go after plax, no matter the price.
I thought so too, but the Steelers front office said, while being interviewed about the Wilson signing, that they still hoped to re-sign Burress. Now, I am well aware that this may just be so much lip service so as not to ruin the guys reputation while he's angling for a contract, but why say anything at all if you have NO interest in re-signing him?
