The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... After a stay of nearly two years in New York state prison, Burress could do the unthinkable and return to the New York Giants. Why is it unthinkable? Well, the club had pretty much written the Super Bowl XLII star off when he was released from the big house in June. Now, with the market expected to be thin for Burress, especially in the early going of free agency, maybe he has a chance to reunite with the Giants. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports there have been talks.
Diehards Line:As Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio noted, it appeared that Burress was interested in every NFL team except the Giants. Now, it appears he’s interested in the Giants, too. In fact, Schefter reports the two sides have been talking most of the day. ... The mutual interest is, of course, of great interest given Burress' well-known issues with HC Tom Coughlin. ... Meanwhile, as NFP staffer Brad Biggs notes, Burress was an effective possession receiver and red-zone target for Eli Manning before his troubles hit. But he hasn’t played in an NFL game in nearly three full years. So Fantasy Football owners shouldn't get their hopes up this season no matter where he lands.
