Plaxico still a possibilty?

It seemed Jerry Angelo dismissed the possibility of Plaxico Burress as a Bear before the draft. Maybe not, Angelo, in speaking at the Bears Expo with fans and media, said any team would be interested in the available receiver.

Angelo did caution that Burress comes with a lot of uncertainty, and the Bears were content with the receivers on the roster. How much is Jay Cutler’s interest in Burress a factor in the Bears decsion making process?

“As I said, we’ll look at every option,” Angelo said. “[His] situation is different because there are circumstances. We’ll monitor it.”

Cutler has reached out to Burress, and agent Drew Rosenhaus recently said at least two teams are seriously interested in signing the former New York Giant. The Jets are likely one of them.

“Are we one of those two teams? No,” Angelo said.

Burress, released by the Giants on April 3, has a June 15 hearing stemming from felony gun charges. He accidentally shot himself in the thigh in November at a Manhattan nightclub. He could face jail time and if not, at least a league suspension.

“He could help any team,” Angelo said. “His play, his production speaks for itself. Everybody would love to have him on their team, including the New York Giants.

“But obviously, they are things that have to happen now for him to play in the league, get on with his life. There are a lot of hurdles to cross before you can really seriously sit here and use that as a viable option.
