I agree that Burress is a little Gardner-like with his inconsistency, but you can't deny he's the playmaker that Gardner can only dream of being. Burress averaged 19.9 yards per catch this year and was developing nicely with Roethelisberger before he got hurt.
His career yards per catch is 16.0 compared to 13.2 for Rod.
The more I think about it the more I think Burress would be a great pickup for us. The guy is a huge target and he can get down the field.
Mohammed is looking for big bucks, plus he's a little long in the tooth.
