Wide receiver Plaxico Burress has been reinstated as a player in the NFL by commissioner Roger Goodell, a source said.

Burress was recently released from jail after serving close to two years on a gun-related incident in New York City. He is planning to meet with the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Burress is allowed to start visiting teams as early as 6 p.m. Friday.

The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets also have expressed varying degrees of interest in Burress, according to sources.

Burress traveled to New York on Tuesday night via a private jet courtesy of billionaire Seth Bernstein, who is serving as an unofficial broker between the wide receiver and the Giants, sources said. Bernstein is CEO of Empower Software Solutions and is a friend of Giants co-owner Steve Tisch.

The Giants have talked of paying Burress in the range of $10.5 million over two years — approximately 60 percent in salary and bonuses, with the balance to be earned on playing-time and performance incentives. Terms remain negotiable and the second year may be an option year, sources said.
