The player who caught the Super Bowl XLII-winning touchdown but then turned the 2008 Giants’ season on its head when he accidentally shot himself in a Manhattan night club is in Jersey to talk to that same team about perhaps taking his first 2011 snap in the same uniform. Burress believed he would be headed to the Giants' facility on Wednesday. But as Star-Ledger staffer Mike Garafolo notes, that's not allowed, per the NFL rules on the abbreviated offseason. What's unclear right now is whether an off-site meeting with a free agent is permissible. If so, a meeting Wednesday somewhere in the area is likely; if not, it might be pushed back until Friday, when free agents can visit team facilities. ... We'll follow up as needed, but wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall in that room?
