Rosenhaus Confirms Dolphins Aren’t One Of The Three Teams Interested In Burress
Posted by Mike Florio on June 1, 2009, 7:48 a.m.

Agent Drew Rosenhaus has said that three teams have serious interest in free-agent wideout Plaxico Burress.

And Rosenhaus acknowledged during a Miami-area television appearance on Sunday night that the Dolphins aren’t one of those three teams.

“I really haven’t talked to the Dolphins about it,” Rosenhaus told WSVN (via Tim Graham of ESPN.com). “They’re not one of the three teams, and I’ve kept the three teams private because they’ve asked me to.”

Last week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported that Plaxico has told friends he would “love” to play for the Dolphins. Armando Salguero of the Herald thereafter reported that the feeling isn’t mutual.

“Don’t read too much into Plax saying he’d like to play for Miami because he lives here in the offseason,” Rosenhaus said. “He loves South Florida. Who wouldn’t want to play for the Dolphins?”

Burress is scheduled to be in court on June 15 on pending criminal charges that could put him away for a minimum of 3.5 years. The thinking is that no team will officially pursue Burress unless and until it is clear that he will not be required to stand trial on the charges during the 2009 season.

So far two of the three have come out to the public: Us & Tampa Bay.

I hope not because when Plax is on the field, he's very hard to stop and he would do nothing but help a young Quarterback look even better than what he really is (see Eli Manning).

Both the Jets & Bucs could use him with Sanchez & Freeman.

I believe everything that Drew Rosenhaus says too! :rolleyes:

Plaxico Burress would be a great addition.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to have him on the Jets this year but I was reading a thread over @ **** ******* the other day that pretty much laid out what's going to happen to him legally from people that seemed to know what they were talking about

Guy is a famous local sports player with good high priced attorneys and a clean record from what I know. You have to think that he doesn't see jail time for this. It's not like it was an illegal unregistered gun that was used in a homicide in the lower east side two years ago. It was legal and registered in another state. I think they let him plead this down.

Freeman chance of being the opening day starter a lot less then Sanchez

True, but he'll be starting eventually this season and if not, Burress has a heck of a lot more than 1 year left in his career. Either way with the Quarterbacks they have, Burress would help a lot.

I agree. The Jets must get him if available. He could fill our 2 biggest needs, one WR and two playmaker on offense
