Giants Cut the Cord with Plax

This wasn't that big of a story because everyone figured this was going to happen at some point. The Giants released Plaxico Burress yesterday. Burress will mostly likely service jail time for his gun offense last November. Before this event, Burress was on a short leash. It was only a matter of time before he made a colossal mistake, like bringing a gun to a nightclub in Chelsea and shooting himself in the leg. 

The next question is, how will the Giants  replace Burress? There are a few options in the draft, but these players may take a year or two to develop. I am suggesting, possibly, Percy Harvin from Florida,  if he drops that to the Giants at 29 or the Giants move up in the draft. There are some trade options like Anquan Boldin or Braylon Edwards. I like Boldin much more than Edwards, but both options seem unlikely. 

Internally, Hixon, Moss, Manningham, and Smith will have to step up in 2009 and help Eli Manning continue to improve as a passer. Honestly, I am a little worried.
