Burress and Shockey asking for better money

 

The Patriots lost their only game of the past season at the Super Bowl, and so the Giants crowned themselves as champions; that was thanks to the 13-yard touchdown by Plaxico Burress with just 35 seconds remaining on the clock.

That touchdown has Burress discussing his contract terms with New York as he and his agent believes that the wide receiver is being underpaid by current NFL contract standards.

As of now, Burress is left 3 years on his 6-year contract for $24 mill, and all in all, Plaxico is at the level of players like Terrell Owens and Randy Moss who just got contracts of 27 million for 3 years both. "I'm not saying I'm being mistreated, everybody wants to be treated fairly." Burress said.

Another Giants players that is essential in New York’s offensive is Jeremy Shockey who is also not too happy about his current situation with the team, but if he wants to negotiate with the Super Bowl Champions, he will need to stand in line, in fact, it seems like Shockey doesn’t feel a Giant anymore and probably he will be happier if he gets free agency in order to sign with another team.

The Giants are just going through the not-wanted side of being the current NFL champions, as if they had finished the season as runner-ups behind the Patriots, these guys would not be asking for any deals, and so if they actually get a better monthly check, they will have to prove that they deserve it at this coming NFL season.
