Plaxico Burress: ‘I Don’t Think Ben’s Ready To Quit’, But Recommends He Finish Career With Steelers

Boy this sure is feeling familiar, isn’t it? The Pittsburgh Steelers have a big topic during the offseason about a very prominent player, and then all of a sudden all of the major sports media outlets are bringing in said player’s former teammate for their opinions.

We already heard from Ryan Clark, which we covered yesterday. Today, we’re talking about one of Ben Roethlisberger’s earlier teammates—in fact, a player he only spent two-plus years with—in Plaxico Burress. The former first-round receiver left Pittsburgh after Roethlisberger’s rookie season in 2004, but would later play one more season at the end of his career back with the Steelers, which honestly I kind of forgot about until I started writing this paragraph.
