The Facts:
The Steelers failed to designate wide receiver Plaxico Burress as their franchise player by Tuesday's deadline, all but assuring he will become a free agent March 2. Burress had at least 60 catches for three years in a row before being slowed by a hamstring injury last season, when his 35 catches were his fewest since he made 22 as a rookie in 2000.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burress is set to leave Pittsburgh, but possibly not the AFC North because the Baltimore Ravens are believed to be among those interested in signing the 6-foot-5 receiver. However, there's likely to be plenty of competition for his services once Burress hits the open market.
