    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)—Plaxico Burress isn’t going to practice with the New York Giants until the Super Bowl champions give him a new contract.

    Burress reported to the Giants’ mandatory minicamp Wednesday but refused to work out because he wasn’t happy with the way contract negotiations are progressing between the team and agent Drew Rosenhaus.

    Coach Tom Coughlin had indicated after practice that Burress did not work out because of a knee injury, but the receiver said he was healthy.

    “Me and my agent are trying to get a deal done so I can stay a New York Giant for a long time,” Burress said. “I, personally, don’t like the way they’re going and I am not happy about it. I am choosing not to participate.”</div>

    This guy earned some money. He played injured all year and risked a lot of future income so the Giants could win.

    This is just negotiations. I think the Giants will eventually rework his deal.

    He deserves the new deal. I just wish he'd been a bit more discreet about the whole thing.
