Former New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is reportedly drawing interest from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to the report by Steve Wyche on NFL.com, the Bucs likely contacted Burress’ agent Drew Rosenhaus.
Burress, who was the Super Bowl MVP for the Giants during the 2007 Super Bowl championship, was waived by New York over the offseason. Not only did the talented wide receiver have a falling out with the coaching staff, he’s facing legal troubles that could possibly land him in jail.
Currently, the two biggest receiving threats for Tampa Bay are wide receiver Antonio Bryant and tight end Kellen Winslow. If the Buccaneers sign Burress, he’d likely replace Mark Clayton in the starting unit.
The other team that reportedly has a lot of interesting in signing Burress is the New York Jets.
