Plax Wants that Green

Another Drew Rosenhaus wide receiver is not practicing wanting a raise in pay. It is hard to argue with Plaxico as he signed a six year deal worth as much as top notch receivers make in three. He is owed about 10 million dollars over the remaining three years, about the same as TO and Moss make annually. Plaxico was the Giants offense for much of the year. He also makes Eli look good routinely catching passes thrown three feet to high. In the words of Teddy "KGB", "Pay that man, pay that man his money."

Maybe the under looked story behind all of this is Ernie Accorsi stealing Plaxico three years ago. An unrestricted free agent from Pittsburgh, Accorsi refused to sign Plax during his first trip to New York knowing there would not be much of a market for a guy who had yet to emerge from Hines Ward spotlight. A few weeks later Plax came crawling back, accepting the $25 million deal. Hopefully Jerry Reese who has already shown his prowess in the draft, will be able to display some of Accorsi's shrewdness towards free agents.
