Seriously. If a plea deal gets him two years, you have to wonder what he was facing without it.

Prior articles made it sound like Burress was desperately afraid to serve any jail time at all.

As an aside, in past times when he was available (and evn this offseason) people had been wanting us to pursue Plaxico. Stuff like this is why you don't pin your hopes on guys with character issues.

I read if he had been convicted on all charges he faced 3 1/2 to 15 years.

for sure. but shooting your leg should not carry the same penalty as killing someone while drunk driving

There's other factors. Stallworth cooperated fully with authorities from the beginning. Burress? Not so much.

Also, the family of the victim in Stallworth's case reportedly was satisfied that Stallworth was contrite. Whether that feeling was sincere or financial no one can say, but that's how it came down.

I guess Burress could forgive himself - and probably has - but that doesn't take the weapons charges away :sosp:

Plus there was mitigating circumstances in Stallworth's case... and he paid the family of the guy he killed too.

I personally think that 2 years is very stiff for what Plax did, but the law's the law and he shoulda took that plea deal way back... idiot.

On a side note...

One of my buds at lunch said he hopes Farve's not watching ESPN today... he might retire again... :lol:

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
