Burress was a Super Bowl hero last year by catching the winning touchdown catch against the New England Patriots. This year though he has been plagued by injuries with his knees, ankles, and hamstrings. This has affected his play significantly in the fact that he has only 35 receptions and 454 yards receiving. Two nights ago, Burress shot himself, yes himself, in the thigh and spent the night in the hospital. The shot wound was non life threatening, but the shot still went through his thigh and he will have to go through therapy to get the strength back. He, also, has been suspended this year for missing a practice and has been suspended a couple of times in the past.
He has been a top receiver ever since his second year in the league. He has had off field issues that has gotten him suspended and what not, but still some see him as a selfish player. Even if he really is, he has helped the teams that he has been on because he is a star receiver. The defending champ Giants, though, are probably the best team in the NFL and they don't want to have to deal with these issues to distract them from winning back-to-back championships. The other thing that happened two nights ago is the star linebacker and leader of the defense, Antonio Pierce, was with Burress and supposedly hid the gun that shot Burress. This has to be one of the worst things to of happened because now the injured Burress got Pierce in trouble for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Now Burress and even maybe Pierce might face weapons charges because his concealed weapons permit expired.
Do you think the Giants will get rid of Burress? If yes, before the season ends or in the off-season? Then also where do you think Burress' career will go from here?

There is no way that Buress is going to leave New York. I don't know why that people have been talking so negatively lately about him. He has slowed down a little but has been hampered by injuries. He was very productive at the beginning of the season and there is no doubt that he was huge in the Super Bowl last year. The Giants will keep him and I have feeling that he will be very important for their playoff push coming up.
