Burress, who was set to become a free agent, had no desire to go elsewhere. “I told them Pittsburgh was the only place I wanted to be,” said Burress. On Tuesday, the Steelers re-signed Burress just before the start of free agency, keeping the 6-5 receiver as a big target for Ben Roethlisberger.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burress doesn’t know yet what his role in the offense will be, something he plans on talking to the coaches about in the next few weeks. But with Mike Wallace signing as a free agent with the Miami Dolphins, Burress has his sights set high.“I am going to approach it like I am going to be a starter,” said Burress. “I am going to work my tail off and see what happens. I am putting it out there for everybody to know. ...” While the opportunity is there, Fantasy owners shouldn't bet the ranch on Burress being ready to fill the void. He's worth watching; but don't get too excited.
