NFL: Burress won't practice without a new contract
Associated Press
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress is refusing to practice because the Super Bowl champions haven't renegotiated his contract.
Burress reported to Giants Stadium for a mandatory minicamp today, but said he told the coaching staff he won't workout without a new deal.
The wide receiver says he has three years left on his current deal.
Burress, who battled through an injury-hampered season last year, caught the game-winning touchdown in the Giants' stunning 17-14 victory over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.
