Report: Plaxico Burress Wants To Play For The Philadelphia Eagles

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Former New York Giants and New York Jets wide receiver Plaxico Burress wants to play for the Philadelphia Eagles next season, according 94 WIP’s Howard Eskin via a Twitter report.

Michael Vick Wants Plaxico Burress on the Eagles

Plaxico Burress is set to be released from prison on June 6 — that's two weeks from yesterday — and Roger Goodell has said that he won't face any further discipline from the league once he's out, leaving him free to sign with a team once the lockout ends. Over the weekend, Gary Myerswrote that he's been hearing that Burress doesn't want to play in New York, which would rule out the Giants — and the Jets for that matter. (Sorry, Eli.) He named a few teams that might be interested (the Steelers, Chargers, Falcons, and Ravens), but wrote that the Eagles "will eventually be first in line." It's an idea Michael Vick, someone who can relate to the process of looking for a new team after being released from prison, can get behind.
