Plaxico Burress (1 Viewer)

[Carter_Can_Fly]

Just read this...

(Rotoworld) The New York Post reports that Plaxico Burress is expected to be released from prison within "two or three weeks" for good behavior.

Analysis: The Post cites a "person who has visited Burress at the Oneida Correctional Facility in Rome," so we'd take the report with a grain of salt. Though it remains unclear when Plax will be permitted to return to the NFL, Giants GM Jerry Reese said his club will "definitely investigate" a potential re-signing. Don't hold your breath a quick signing, though. The Giants already have a deep receiving corps, and Plax doesn't play special teams.

Can he find a home? and if so after shooting himself in the leg and being away from football for a couple of years and turning 34 coming up on aug 12th does he have any chance to do something?

 

[Qmaster]

Plax was the starting WR for the Mean Machine, he beat out Spearchucker Jones, I don't see why he couldn't contribute somewhere.........

 

[Exit 1]

If he's in decent shape, I don't see why some team won't take a chance on him. He'll get picked up.

 

[Ray_T]

I doubt it.

Being in shape, and being in game shape are two different things.

He still has a probable league suspension, and then for him to learn the offensive system (even the one in New york would be different from the system he knew when he was there)

by the time all that is done, you are into the last weeks of the season and he may not have formed that bond or connection with his QB at that time.

If you pick him up, I'd recommend you do it next year.

 

[finito]

He's 34 next week. I believe his days of being rosterworthy are finished. And he may not be out in a few weeks anyway:

(KFFL) Updating a previous report, unrestricted free-agent WR Plaxico Burress' (Giants), attorney Peter Frankel, said Burress' application for work release is still pending and that an earlier report that stated Burress is expected out of jail in two to three weeks is premature, report Michael Obernauer and Ralph Vacchiano, of the New York Daily News. Frankel said he is hopeful Burress will be let out of prison under the work-release program, but a decision is not expected for another week or two.

The wide receiver is bidding to play in the NFL this season

Joshua Lindsey

ESPN’s Sao Paolantonio reports that former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, who is serving a two-year sentence for weapons and reckless endangerment charges, has applied for work release from prison for the second time.



Burress, whose sentence is scheduled to last until June 2011, is expected to get a ruling on his request before the NFL season starts on Sept. 9.

League officials say the receiver’s suspension will be lifted if he is granted work release, though the terms of the work release program could present a problem. Prisoners granted work release are typically allowed to work Monday through Friday but must report back to prison on weekends. The terms of the program also often prohibit inmates from traveling outside of the state.

However, in rare cases, these restrictions have been waived. In order to obtain a waiver, Burress’ attorneys would have to argue that having the restrictions waived would be the only way their client can make a living in his chosen profession.

"Waivers are rare, but not impossible," said a source familiar with Burress' case.

The criminal charges came about after an incident in Nov. 2008 in which Burress, who was carrying an unlicensed firearm in the waistband of his track pants while at a New York nightclub, had the gun slip down his pants and go off, injuring his right thigh and nearly hitting a security guard.

Though initially charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment, Burress pleaded guilty to a lesser charge on Aug. 20, 2009 and was sentenced to two years in prison.

I don't think he makes a real impact again in the league at his advanced age.

It's ####### ridiculous the guy is still in prison, but that's another topic. The guy is a Grade A moron, but I hope his work release is granted so he can get back to his life on the field (for what time he has left).

He is not the smartest man around and deserved a punishment but jail time of this length for what happened that evening is absurd. I mean the fact Stallworth is in a training camp this year speaks volumes about how messed up the justice system can really be. And I happen to think it is not a bad thing that Stallworth is in a camp this year.

Location, location, location. Here in NYC, gun control went to an all-time high after the P. Diddy shooting. The mayor basically said he was going to make an example out of Burress, publicly, on numerous occasions. I believe it was something along the lines of "I don't care who you are, if you get caught in my city, with a firearm, your going to the slammer". Unfortunately for Burress, he was the next high profile celebrity to get caught with a gun. In regards to his career post-jail.. with a few months of hard work and dedication I don't see why he couldn't contribute to a team. He might not be a #1 receiver but at the very least a solid #2. If a playoff team with an established #1 receiver and a few extra bucks to spend comes across him, they can strike gold. If he plays next season, I don't see why 60/700/7 isn't out of the question, at least on a contender.

The youth obsession around here these days cracks me up.

 

[The_Fonz]

Are there that many WR's out there with his physical size? The mismatches he creates are pretty big. I definitely think he can get signed somewhere and I think he'll be productive. As a giants fan, I'd be happy to have him back.

League officials say the receiver’s suspension will be lifted if he is granted work release

Someone please explain to me how the league suspends a player never arrested or charge with a crime for 6 games and then immediately lifts the suspension of a man indicted by a grand jury on two felonies.

 

[Frank Black]

It's ####### ridiculous the guy is still in prison, but that's another topic.

It's not ridiculous. He violated the law and he was sentenced well within the NY sentencing guidelines. That said, I agree with you that his impact in the NFL will be limited going forward.

I think most feel that Plax received more than enough punishment for his poor judgment. On the other hand, Ben has received no legal punishment for his lack of judgment. Plax already lost a year and the only "victim" of his crime is himself. Commish Goodell clearly took this into account.I'm OK with it. Ben's is going to be reduced to 4 games and there is no specific rule regarding how the Commish must deal with arrests or criminal investigations of players. While it looks unfair given that one was actually convicted of a crime while the other was not even prosecuted...those are really just semantics as far as the NFL is concerned. Plax probably would have been suspended had he managed to get the charges dismissed or plead down to something that didn't require jail time.

bingo. hit the nail on the head. they made an example out of him.normally, you'd probably expect no more than a 6 month sentence and restrictions on his ability to own a firearm for the next 2 years (or something similar)They did really throw the book at him. However, he was pretty dumb to walk into a crowded nightclub with a loaded gun with the safety off. There is no excuse for that kind of stupidity.either way, It would be nice to see him retire on his own terms rather than due to something like this.

 

[thriftyrocker]

There's no way any team takes a chance on a guaranteed contract. So he won't get signed til after the season starts, if at all. It will be hard for him to make an impact without spending time at camp with a team, except maybe on special plays like red zone.

The Vick situation indicates that players might not exactly be able to stay in playing shape when on extended stints in prison.

Former NY Giant Plaxico Burress denied work release

NEW YORK — Former Super Bowl star Plaxico Burress has lost a bid for work release from his two-year prison sentence in a New York gun case.

The state Department of Correctional Services said Tuesday that it had turned down the former New York Giants wide receiver's request. It's his second since he started serving his sentence last September. He can appeal the decision but otherwise can't reapply for a work furlough until next June.

His lawyer didn't immediately return a telephone call.

The agency said Burress' request was denied because of his crime. Burress pleaded guilty last year to attempted criminal possession of a weapon for having a loaded handgun in a nightclub that went off and shot him in the leg.

Burress is a dunderhead. He tried to carry a loaded pistol for which he had no license into a crowded nightclub and carelessly discharged it and shot himself in the leg. He is really lucky that it didn't strike someone else or else he could be in jail for a lot longer.I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for him.

I snagged Plax for $1 (out of $200) in my 16 team auction dynasty league. I figure he will be a decent keeper next fall at a buck.

And yet we have Ray Lewis and Leonard Little and Ben Rapistberger running around scott free....when each one of them did far worse than what Burress did. Strange world we live in for sure.

Agree about Leonard Little. In the case of Ray Lewis he pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of obstruction of justice which is far less than the two felonies Burress was was found guilty of. In Roethlisberger's case the DA didn't even have enough evidence for probable cause let alone file charges. What do you propose the legal system do with people that aren't charged with a crime?

Well, you can replace the names with any ordinary person. A drug dealer, a rapist, a drunk driving fatality, a regular Joe carrying around an unlicensed loaded hand gun that accidentally goes off and kills someone, would all do less time than Burress has to do for accidentally shooting himself. He obviously needed to be punished by the law, but this is going way beyond what he deserves.

I disagree. Gun Crimes in certain areas are taken much more seriously then many others. Discharging it in a crowded area is very very stupid. The fact that it was able to go off says alot about Burress' lack of intelligence when owning a firearm, let alone carrying one around on his person in such a manner.

Not really. He will be 34 and out of football for almost 3 years come June 6, 2011. I'd rather find a different lottery ticket.

Perhaps but Burress accepted a plea for two years in prison whereas the supposed minimum sentence for unlawful carrying of a handgun in NY is 3½ years.I wish Burress was a free man still playing in the NFL but it was stupid to carry a loaded gun into a nightclub and he has no one but himself to blame.

Plax never had a good work ethic in college or the pros, his former Spartan QB & Giant teammate told me a few years back. I don't think Plax will change and develop Jerry Rice work habits to have a legit shot at coming back.

I think someone like Ben Tate, Sidney Rice, or Vincent Jackson would be a much better late-round selection that you may not get production out of for a season, but should come back next year. Plax is simply too old...

'his former Spartan QB & Giant teammate told me a few years back'. Why add this? Plax was and is a hard worker and I believe he will be back and lead another team to the Super Bowl. Time will tell. For a Buck worth the pickup.

Because I worked with Ryan Van Dyke and he told me when he was the Spartans QB and on the Giants for training camp, the coaches needed to constantly ride Plax, or else he'd slack off during practices and off-season training.

Castration. All rapists should be castrated. Ben got off because he has money. He bought off his accuser, and the DA decided he couldn't prosecute without the accuser's testimony. Don't make Ben out to be so innocent just because he is the QB of your favorite team.

Thanks for the input. I was beginning to think I was crazy for considering this. But if some of the recent reports are true and he is in good shape and healthy, I don't see why he couldn't be a factor next year. His size make him a mismatch that has to be accounted for and he has proven he can be very productive. Any speculation as to potential landing spots next year? Here are a couple that have crossed my mind:NY Giants - Steve Smith went down, and beyond Nicks the depth is questionable.

SD Chargers - I think could be the ideal situation for him to land in. Rivers in his prime, and depending on the Chargers off season moves, Jackson could be out.

Cowboys - I don't think Roy Williams will return next year and the depth behind Austin and Bryant is thin.

STL Rams - The Rams could use a big target for Bradford to throw to. Clayton, DAlexander, Amendola and Burress would be a nice corp.

Just a few random thoughts.

 

[Steed]

I'm sure he could come back and fill a possession role for some team similar to what BMW is doing in Seattle.

 

[vandyt]

I'm sure he could come back and fill a possession role for some team similar to what BMW is doing in Seattle.

Not sure I understand this. He's never excelled at short and intermediate route running, and one would have to think being in prison for a couple years would have an impact on whatever short-area quickness he has. I'd also argue he plays as the smallest 6'5 WR in league history. I've never seen a WR worse at using his frame...watching him, he functionally operates in the same space as a 5'9 WR...similar to a Deion Branch.

That said, he does have above average speed for his size, and is great at tracking deep balls. Thats what his skill set was before prison, and if hes going to come back, I think thats where he'll be successful.

Seems like he'd come back as more of a situational #4 deep threat for a playoff caliber team. Maybe Jets or Balt or something of that ilk.

 

[Steed]

It's a projection on my part. I don't think he'll have a lot of speed or separation at his age and after a 2 year layoff. That leaves him with his size, so he better figure out how to box out smaller defenders like BMW does.

Gotcha...I'm not sure I see it, as hes never been that type of WR...but who knows. He's probably learned how to use that frame to box people out in prison, NTTAWWT.

 

[Eastwood]

Just dropped most of my 2nd defenses for him in several dynasty leagues to pick him up. Almost zero risk here.

 

[Eastwood]

I work in a prison and I can tell you that if Plax wanted to be fit, he could come out stronger than he's ever been. When you're locked up for 24 hours a day like he is, he could easily spend HOURS every day working out.

And isn't Vick in the best shape of his life now?

 

[Eastwood]

yep. But the million dollar question is, has Plax really grown up and learned from his mistakes? Its clear Vick has, and we can only hope Plax has if he ever wants to be successful in the NFL again. And Vick is hopefully giving him a lot of hope and inspiration to try and do the same thing.

I read a good article about Plax in the NY Times a while back. Seems like he changed, but we probably won't know until he is out. Actually met him when he was a Steeler...very soft spoken and polite.

I think with the right team and support system he can make a successful comeback. Now the type of numbers that will follow that comeback, not too sure.
