Plaxico Burress, freshly out of prison, may be on the verge of rejoining the New York Giants. The two parties are set to meet today, and potentially could iron out a deal that would put the troubled wide receiver back with Big Blue.

Here’s the obvious: if Plax signs with the Giants, and the Giants (which we will assume) can resign WR Steve Smith, then the Giants may have the best WR corps in the NFL. Plaxico, Hakeem Nicks, and Steve Smith are almost uncoverable. Then add the likes of Mario Manningham (who almost had a thousand yards last year), and Kevin Boss, and Eli Manning has to be thinking that if he doesn’t have the best passing year of his career he should jump off a cliff.

Now the not so obvious.. Plaxico Burress has been out of the NFL for a couple years. He was also a huge problem when he was with the Giants in terms of discipline off the field. Has he had a come to Jesus? Do we have reason to believe that he may have changed his ways? That remains to be seen. I guess at the end of the day, when he gets back in football shape, he’s still a dominant receiver. The Giants offense would be absolutely potent with him. I’d say go for it.
