Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

QuoteNOT BUYING THE BURRESS RUMOR

You'll likely see this Plaxico Burress rumor somewhere today, so I thought I'd at least mention it.

Gary Myers of the New York Daily News writes that he's "heard" the Eagles will "eventually be first in line" for Burress' services once he's released from prison on June 6:

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and coach Andy Reid, having already been through the post-prison experience with Vick, might be in a better position to handle any public backlash about adding another former inmate. They could also help Burress with his transition back to the NFL. Putting Burress with DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin would give Vick plenty of options.

While I'll never rule anything out with the Eagles, I have a tough time seeing Burress as a good fit.

They are obviously set with their top two receivers for the next few years, assuming DeSean Jackson agrees to a new deal. Jeremy Maclin is signed through 2013.

Jason Avant has proven to be a very good slot guy and is under contract through 2014.

Could the Eagles benefit from having a big receiver? Sure. But I think they want Riley Cooper to emerge as that guy. Cooper will likely never be the receiver Burress was in his prime, but Burress won't be in his prime when he returns to the field. He turns 34 in August, and I just can't see him having much of a role with the Eagles.

I know some will make the argument that the Birds need a big target in the red zone, but remember, Maclin had seven red-zone scores last season and looked more than capable of getting open in tight space.

sounds to me like gary is pleading for the giants to hurry up and re-sign him before the ex-con trend setting eagles do.

If the Eagles needed a receiver, I'd be fine with it.  But there isn't a signing in the world that would make less sense than the Eagles going after him right now.

There's a bigger version of it in the booze thread that will piss you off even more.

I love the bit at the end where it looks like she might hurl.  Either that or she just swallowed a huge shot of my semen.
