Giants release Burress 4 months after shooting

Had to happen!

Yeah, I'm not surprised one bit. The guy is facing 3 1/2 years.

They woke up and realized he's going to jail for quite a bit of time.

Giants signed a big contract with Burress in September, and I think they wanted this thing resolved by draft time. As we get closer to the draft, do they make a move at a receiver? Seems kind of like a no brainer now.

Who will be the #1 in this offense now? Toomer? Steven Smith? Hixon?None of these guys are really capable of carrying the load.

Toomer is gone. For what I remember that leaves Steve Smith, Hixon and Manningham. Sinorice Moss still there also?

I'm a bit suprised at the timing. Was this a June 1 designated cut ?? He must have got some kind of a large signing bonus back in Sept. ?? What will be the cap impact of this ??

:headscratch:

Well, according to this article, the Giants offered Burress a new contract before they released him, that he turned down. Looks like NY attempted to keep him.
