New York Giants receiver Plaxio Burress may face arrest and a fine for failing to pay part of his taxes from the years 1998 through 2002 according to the Keystone Municipal Collections agency. The unpaid taxes are allocated to go to the Moon Township and Moon Area School District. The Steelers paid Burress almost $15.2 million during his five years with the team, though he did not live in Moon Township the entire time.

Free-agent cornerback R.W. McQuarters underwent a physical at Redskin Park and departed without signing, apparently to visit other teams. The seven-year veteran became available Monday when he was released by the Chicago Bears. The New York Giants are rumored to be heavily interested as well. "I think he's going to consider his options," Redskins coach Joe Gibbs said. "We had a great discussion. We had a good visit. ... We'll see what happens down the road."

Signed recently as a mentor to Eli Manning, the New York Giants recently agreed to an injury settlement with veteran quarterback Jim Miller. Miller recently had a surgery to repair a torn hip labrum. Miller, 34, gets to keep the $25,000 bonus he pocketed upon signing in early March and will receive payment by the Giants as part of the settlement based on how long he needs to rehabilitate following surgery. Apparently, Tom Coughlin did not want to wait several months for Miller to heal and was willing to jettison him after adding Hasselbeck to the mix. "He was treated very fair . . . more than fair," said Joe Linta, Miller's agent.

The New York Giants, who have been seeking to bolster their quarterback depth chart since Jim Miller underwent hip surgery two weeks ago, acquired a potential challenger for the No. 2 spot behind starter Eli Manning on Monday, when they were awarded Tim Hasselbeck on waivers. Hasselbeck, 27, had been released by the Washington Redskins late last week. It was not immediately known if any other teams had submitted a waiver claim on him. Hasselbeck became expendable in Washington when the Redskins invested a first-round choice on Auburn quarterback Jason Campbell in this year's draft. "We got very fortunate that this young quarterback became available just when we need one," said Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi. "We're fortunate, especially since we had to wait out the waivers. We are pleased to have him."
