"A source has told Gary Myers of the New York Daily News that if Plaxico Burress is signed by an NFL team for the 2009 season, commissioner Roger Goodell will dole out a suspension of at least eight games for the free agent wideout. Myers presumes that any team that wants to sign Plax will call the league office to get a feel for how many games he'll miss due to suspension, and he reports that, as of the middle of last week, no team had done so (ESPN)."
This is such an odd situation, because Plaxico can be a top 5 WR, when his head is in it, but since he is going to be suspended for so long, and has a screw loose everyone is staying away from him. Someone will eventually take a chance, but I wouldn't expect that to happen until Goodell decides the exact number of games. Missing half the season could be really tough for Plaxico to overcome, since by then most players are comfortable with the offense, and with him being out for so long it could be tough to get that comfort level with his QB. Anyways, he is a shithead, and I wish nothing but terrible things for him...
