Report: Plaxico wants to sign with Eagles

Share

After a pedestrian return season with the New York Jets, Plaxico Burress is apparently looking for a new team -- and guess who's atop the wide receiver's wish list.

The Eagles.

The former Giant who spent nearly two years in jail on a gun charge, told NBC10's Howard Eskin that he wants to play for the Eagles.

Tweeted Eskin at 12:42 p.m. on Wednesday:

"Saw and talked to Plaxico Burress at Super Bowl and told me he wants to play for Eagles. Badly!"

Burress becomes a free agent on March 13. He caught 45 balls for 612 yards with eight touchdowns last season, but three of those scores were lumped in a Week 7 win over the Chargers.

Burress' one-year deal with the Jets paid him a little more than 3 million.
