Per Bloomberg News:
“If there is a plea, which is unlikely, we can expect that Plaxico Burress is going to be looking at spending time in a jail cell rather than on a football field,” said former prosecutor Stuart Slotnick, a partner at Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC in New York. “His gun went off.”
In 2008, in New York City, 1,248 people were charged with criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree — the same felony Burress faces. Of them, 184 were convicted of the charge, according to Janine Kava, a spokeswoman for the New York State Division of [...]

Cardinals General Manager Rod Graves said the team has not placed WR Anquan Boldin on the trading block, but is open to offers.

Boldin backed off his demand to be traded, which is taken as a good sign. But the Republic reported from the owners meeting that if negotiations with agent Drew Rosenhaus go nowhere over the next month, that whole scenario could change.
All of which means the Giants would have a door open for a trade. And they’ve got the draft goods, at least, with two seconds and two fifths. They also have two third-round picks, but one of them [...]

Candidate #2: Ahmad Bradshaw (RB)

Compensatory picks were released yesterday, and the Giants got a nice surprise when they learned that they would be receiving and extra 3rd round pick (number 100 overall) in the upcoming NFL draft.

With the recent rumors of the Giants being in trade talks for WR Braylon Edwards, I thought I would give some insight into the situation…

Per OrangeAndBrown.com the Giants and Browns where in talks of working out a trade for Braylon Edwards before the Dante Stallworth incident.
The Giants reportedly offered the 2nd and 5th round picks received from the trade of Jeremy Shockey.
The Browns counter offered with the 2nd and 5th and WR Steve Smith
The Giants said Smith would not be traded but Domenik Hixon or Mario Manningham could be had.
Talks have died down a bit for now, but as we get closer to Draft weekend I see things heating up again….Stay tuned!
Edwards to the Giants?

Over the coming weeks I will be posting my candidates for the New York Giants breakout stars of the 2009 season.
Candidate Number #1:  Kenny Phillips (FS/SS)
