Plaxico Burress Met With Giants Camp Visits

Plaxico Burress has become Timex Performance Center, the institution had never before stepped into.
He looked like its taken from Super Bowl XLII winning touchdown on the wall outside the locker room. He chatted with former teammates and probably had a chance to say hello to some members of the organization, he had not seen since 2008.

Of course, Tom Coughlin the Giants an employee who had the most in this process potentially cathartic evening. For about an hour, sitting former Giants wide receiver, and spoke with the coach, both sides felt each other a meeting possible. This sit-down was followed by two short meetings: one with the general manager Jerry Reese and the team president John Mara.
Ninety minutes after his arrival, Burress jumped back in a black Lincoln Town car, and disappeared. It was barely enough time to decide whether to return to the Giants.

But that's not what this day was, it was a constructive conversation, and apparently that's what happened.
"It was great talking to him," Reese said as he left the premises at night. "It's very private, personal conversation. It was a conversation between humans. We talked a little football, and I'm sure coach and had a private conversation, that is among them. It was a good visit."
Asked if the team had planned to stay in communication with Burress, Reese said: "We'll see what comes out of this We will not get people to it for the pleasure we get people to consider of the New York Giants ... We think it's certainly a possibility, and we'll see how it goes. "
Burress and Coughlin was not able to comment after the meetings. But the first part of the day, Coughlin had a very candid discussion with journalists who do you expect Burress when he returned.

Tip: This is what is expected of each player. No special treatment for him, and Coughlin is not going to change his ways.

"What is there to change?" Coughlin said. "When you sign up for one to go to work, the important thing is that going to work, you must be there, you must arrive on time. What can change? Right down to it, which is the basic raw material and the rule is to jump as hard as you can, as quickly as possible, but understand your responsibilities. people depend on you. "
The Giants could very well depend on Burress, who is scheduled to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday to help a receiving corps that could be abused - if he can regain the form that appears before the night was fired on Thanksgiving 2008. (The Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams and Houston Texans in the mix, according to a person familiar with Burress accrued interest. This person requested anonymity so as not to affect the negotiations.)

Injury as Steve Smith and free-agent status - "the ball in their court," Reese said Smith and the other unsigned players - and signing the angle of the Eagles' back Nnamdi Asomugha today, Burress size, capacity and openness wing to help the red zone once again, Eli Manning and add margin of error is to throw his way.
But the Giants do not yet know about the Burress no longer exist.
"It's speculation," said Coughlin. "It will also be 34 years in a little. ... I will say this, and we all know this, it is a rare athlete. "
Reese gave the Giants do not in any hurry to run Burress through a workout to see if it's still the kind of athlete.
"More than likely," Reese said: "It will not look like it is in midseason form as he was absent from the game for a few years."
Very soon, perhaps Giants want to take that look. And all indications, today meetings nothing to discourage them.
Perhaps this visit was the Giants' system was the first of many came to Burress.
