Plaxico wants to play for the Eagles

When receiver Plaxico Burress emerged from prison last year wearing a Phillies hat, many took that gesture to mean he wanted to play for the Eagles.

He didn’t in 2011, but he wants to in 2012.

Howard Eskin of NBC 10 in Philadelphia reports that he ran into Burress at the Super Bowl, and that Burress said he wants to play for the Eagles “badly.”

Eskin says that coach Andy Reid considered bringing Burress to Philly last season, and Eskin believes that the Eagles may make a run at him in 2012.

Burress currently remains under contract with the Jets. He’ll become a free agent on March 13.

Would be a nice fit, they could use a big WR.

Of course he does.

I'd take Plax. Like Rip said the Eagles could use a big WR.

He was useless unless we were in the red zone, maybe he'll be better his second year but I doubt it.

He was useless because he had a shitty QB throwing him the ball.

The most telling short answer came when he was asked what he thought of Mark Sanchez as a quarterback.

“Mark Sanchez is Mark Sanchez,” Burress said.

I think Philly would benefit from a big receiver like Plax, about how he'll perform is the worry I have.
