Plaxico Burress Signs $35 Million Extension

Just in time for the season opener! Giants receiver Plaxico Burress, who helped carry his team to a Super Bowl on a sprained ankle, has agreed to terms with the G-Men on a five-year, $35 million contract extension that will pay him $11 million in the first year. Burress had been under contract until 2010.

Burress appears to be earning his keep tonight.

Great deal, handled well, makes sense for all sides. I'm very impressed by Reese's job as the Giants GM so far.

"Burress appears to be earning his keep tonight."

Seriously.

From what I've seen tonight, (and in previous giants games), Eli Manning wouldn't even be a serviceable starter without Plax. He's almost the entire passing offense.

Plaxico would be better if Brady was his QB, not Manning.
