The NY Giants have released Plaxico Burress from the team today. The star wide receiver, who played with Big Blue for four seasons, is currently trying to negotiate a plea deal with the Manhattan DA's office, as he faces felony charges for accidentally firing his illegal gun in a Midtown nightclub. Though some have thought the Giants should have cut him right after the November incident, Giants GM Jerry Reese said today, "I am an optimist, and I believe most situations can be worked out. We hung in there as long as we could in hopes that there could be a resolution to this situation other than the decision we made today to release Plaxico. It wasn't to be, so now we have to move on. Like everybody else here, we want nothing but the best for Plaxico, and we are appreciative of the contributions he made to this franchise."

racists!
Oh Plax! Say it ain't so!
Good riddance!
His stupidity cost the Giants last year.
And he's not the type of guy that will learn from this, or change his stupid ways.
He would have been a great poster boy for gun control after going on late night TV and joking about how dumb it was.
Expect an announcment in the next week or so that he will cop to a lesser charge and do somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 to 6 months. The Giants were waiting for that info before they decided whether to cut him.
So now let's move on and trade for Braylon Edwards or Boldin, and maybe package some of the plethora of draft picks the team has this year to move up and grab a top WR in the first round. Because they need it. Plax was still a great free agent signing even if he flamed out in the end though.
