Jets Remain Interested In Burress

Oct 9, 2014 8:01 PM

The Jets are still taking a wait-and-see approach with free-agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress. Sources say that New York is waiting to see what comes of Plaxico's legal situation, and that they are unlikely to make a play for him if he is suspended for a lengthy period of time. However, if Burress escapes major suspension and gets his legal situation cleared up, the Jets are expected to be among the most likely suitors.
