Here’s What Happens When You Win the Super Bowl…

Suddenly everyone wants a raise.
- According to Rotoworld, Plaxico Burress will be skipping Mini-Camp over a contract dispute. He’s slated to be making 3.25 million this season, and he’s not happy about it. He’s rumored to want something like a Javon Walker 6 year, 55 million.
Let’s take a look at this shall we? Plax will be 31 when the season opens. He expects the Giants to sign him until he’s 37? Now, I know that the second half of most contracts don’t really exist, as players are often cut or traded or they re-negotiate before they ever see them, but still. That would also drive up the signing bonus which is what I’m sure Burress really wants.
Jerry Reese is too good of a general manager to do anything too stupid with this. Expect Plax to start being fined $8,600 a day if he doesn’t start showing up. In other news, if Jerry Reese wants to give me that money, that’s fine.
- In other Giants News, Jeremy Shockey showed up to work today! Despite everything indicating the fact that he wouldn’t, the tight end came to mini-camp today. However, he’s still recovering from the broken leg he suffered last season and couldn’t particapte in any drills. He also wasn’t doing any conditioning with the rest of the injured players.
When asked why Jeremy stated inside, head coach Tom Coughlin just said “That’s between Jeremy and I.”
Yikes. I’m so sick of this drama already. Can’t we all just get along?
