When the Giants say they look into every player available, they aren't kidding. ESPN is citing team sources and reporting that the team spent time Tuesday in discussions with Plaxico Burress, the former Giants wide receiver who was released from prison in June after serving nearly two years for accidentally shooting himself in the leg in November 2008.
The Giants had carefully left the door open for any conversations with the free agent, who had harsh comments about Tom Coughlin during an interview shortly after his prison release. The report suggests that no deal is imminent for a return to New York, but the team is apparently gauging whether the soon-to-be 34-year-old has changed his ways. Coughlin has even reportedly agreed to speak with Burress to get a feel for the receiver's mind-set.
