Somewhat surprising since it appeared the team was willing to take him back assuming he'd be eligible to play at some point in the 2009 season. Well, that's all over now.
Nice way to flush about $40 million down the drain.
In a shocking development to the ongoing Plaxico Burress saga, the Giants announced just a few moments ago that they have released the troubled receiver, just four months after he shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club.Probably a safe bet they're going WR in Round 1 in the April 25 draft, unless that trade rumor or Braylon Edwards for Matthias Kiwanuka comes to fruition. A lot of draft boards have them taking Hakeen Nicks of North Carolina.
“I am an optimist, and I believe most situations can be worked out,” said General Manager Jerry Reese. “We hung in there as long as we could in hopes that there could be a resolution to this situation other than the decision we made today to release Plaxico. It wasn’t to be, so now we have to move on. Like everybody else here, we want nothing but the best for Plaxico, and we are appreciative of the contributions he made to this franchise.”
