Plaxico Burress - Do you want him?

As you may have heard that the great state of New York has announced that Plaxico Burress will be released on June 6 for good behavior. If everything works out with the NFL owners and players, Mr Burress is free to sign with any team he would like this coming season. Former players like Antonio Pierce and Michael Strahan have said that Giants should go after Burress.

The former NFL standout was sentence to two years in prison for accidentally shooting himself in the leg at a nightclub. So he has been out of the game for quite some time, but as we have seen from other players like Michael Vick that it may be just a matter of time before he can get back to that All Pro level. 

He is 33 years old now I figure it would not take him long to get back into shape. The question is would you want him on your team? Does he have anything left in the tank? I still think he is very talented and still has some great years in him. The only thing I would worry about is once he does sign a contract and a team puts some money in his pocket, will he just give a half ass effort now that he has money again?
