Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl – As a huge Giants fan, this is not what I want to hear!  Bring Plax Back!!!!

Wide receiver Plaxico Burress becomes a free man on Monday when he is released from prison.

And according to good friend and former teammate Brandon Jacobs, Burress will not be returning to the New York Giants once the lockout ends.

“There is no chance Plaxico Burress is a New York Giant after he comes home,” Jacobs said while attending teammate Justin Tuck’s celebrity billiards event in Manhattan.

“He isn’t coming to the Giants,” Jacobs added. “He’s got options. I would love for him to be a part of the Giants. I don’t think that is even on his plate.”

Jacobs has placed the Philadelphia Eagles as the leading candidate to land Burress once football resumes because of Burress’ friendship with Michael Vick and the fact that the Eagles are loaded with talent offensively.

Both Vick and Burress grew up in the Virginia Beach area.

“I would hate to see him go to where I think he is going to go, that is from talking to him,” Jacobs said of the Eagles when asked if he was talking about Philadelphia. “It is pretty tough to deal with all those different combinations. Plax is a Virginia guy, Vick is a Virginia guy. They went through sort of the same things and they got a lot of dynamic players down there. It wouldn’t be a bad thing, he thinks, to go down there. He wants to win.”

Jacobs is one of Burress’ best friends and has remained in constant contact with the wide receiver, who accidentally shot himself in the thigh in November 2008. Burress pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon. He’s eligible for time off for good behavior, so his prison time will end Monday after serving 21 months of his two-year sentence.

Jacobs said he is “so sure” of Burress’ thinking “because I talk to him once a week.”
