New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress had resigned himself Thursday afternoon to not getting a new contract done before the regular season, which seemed like a safe bet because kickoff was four hours away. But when he pulled into the players' parking lot at Giants Stadium, agent Drew Rosenhaus was waiting for him.
In between shooting YouTube videos for other clients, Rosenhaus flew into New York and made a final push for a new contract. He and Burress walked up to Giants GM Jerry Reese's office and finalized a five-year, $35 million contract, which gives him $11 million in the first year.
By 4:30 p.m., Burress was on the practice field with quarterback Eli Manning, and by halftime, they'd pretty much carved up a Redskins defense that may or may not have included Jason Taylor -- depending on whom you talk to.
