Dah-Dee Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Sources report that following the release of Plaxico Burress by the New York Giants, the Washington Redskins appear to be working on a trade that would send starting quarterback Jason Campbell to Cleveland, Browns quarterback Brady Quinn to Tampa, the Bucs 2009 #1 pick to Kansas City, Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez to the Giants, and would 'give' to Washington the rights to negotiate with their NFC East rival's former wide receiver at some point in the future if and when he recovers fully from the involved leg injury that resulted in weapons charges which could lead to prison time. Reached for comment, Redskins VP Vinny Cerrato said, "I love lamp." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibbidoe Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 At least he's thoughtful enough to shoot himself and not other people. But, I still say 'no' to the Cheddar Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 2/02 Plaxico Burress was arrested on a charge of public intoxication in Virginia Beach, Va. His brother, Carlos Burress, was arrested at the same time on a felony charge of assault and battery on a police officer. It was the second time Burress has been charged on an alcohol-related offense in the past five months. 6/05 Plaxico Burress failed to appear in Virginia court Wednesday, June 15, on a reckless driving charge, leading authorities to issue a warrant for his arrest. 11/08 Plaxico Burress shot himself in the right thigh in the New York City nightclub LQ when his Glock pistol. The following Monday, Burress turned himself in to police to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun. According to the Associated Press, Burress has been sued at least nine times since he joined the NFL in 2000. Not to mention the poor practice habits, dropped passes and a penchant for free-lancing. Other than that, he seems like the kind of guy I would want representing the burgundy and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAFGA Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I wrote this in ATN, so I thought I'd post it in here in a more appropriate place: I would take Burress over T.O. or Vick everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. He's done some stupid things, but he did them to himself. Believe it or not, Burress is not one of those players that would send me over the edge. He has talent. I wouldn't sign him to anything more than a vet minimum deal, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USS Redskins Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I say ya - if he goes to jail they dont have to pay him. He is a player - and the Skins need someone for Campbell to watch as he is taking his time in the drop back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't sign him to anything more than a vet minimum deal, though. The problem with Burress is not whether or not he will be or has been a cancer. The issue at hand is whether or not he will be a free man during the 2009 season, and possibly beyond. I just don't see how you sign a player that might be in jail a few months from now.

Skins PR Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well he definitely would be our best receiver and fits the mold of a West Coast receiver. Other than shooting himself, he hasn't carried too much baggage and really, haven't we all carried unlicensed, concealed glocks at one time or another? I have a hunch that Snyder's stiffy is starting to wear off after losing Cutler and he may need to make this deal just so he'll be able to satisfy the wife.

bnewbs Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 If its possible to write up a contract that protects us in cases he is jailed/ doesnt practice and has incentive escalators then this is a FA Id pick up....his natural talent plus the intimate knowledge of Giants schemes could help us more than hurt us....i would hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzpackage Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I rarely criticize this board, but we really need a "free agent/catch-all thread" during the offseason. This really has to stop. Every....single....player.... released is brought up. Nothing against the OP, I see he's just started posting. Welcome, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
