Plaxico Burress Released

In other NFL news today, Plaxico Burress was finally released from the New York Giants. All leads point to that he will most likely being goin to prison by accepting a lesser charge. With the play the Giants offense showed last season after he was shot himself, they need to somehow replace him immediately if they want to make another super bowl run. Anquan Boldin rumors were flying around a few weeks ago but those have seemed to die down. Maybe now that he has been finally released perhaps they could fire up again but I really don't see the Cardinals letting him go. I also do not think that Braylon Edwards will be traded. He had a down year this year after being a premier receiver two years ago and I expect him to fully rebound.

What is most interesting about this ordeal though is that there will is a receiver in the draft this year who is almost a carbon copy of Burress who is even a local Jersey guy. 6'5" Rutgers WR Kenny Britt very well could be available when the Giants pick and seems to be the perfect replacement for him. Unfortunately, first round receivers receivers normally take about three years to develop into the star receivers they are expected to be, if they do not become busts which is always very likely. It will be interesting to see what the Giants plan to do about this issue, if anything at all, throughout the rest of the offseason.
