I see him as a lesser Terrell Owens. Too many problems to take. The Skins have enough to deal with without getting a guy that HATES to practice and "somehow" manages to shoot himself in the leg!

I am curious, is he ACTUALLY going to jail for sure? If so, how long?

Plaxico is NOT Terrell Owens. Sure, missing the end of the season is certainly a major drag on the team and has to be noted when evaluating him, but TO is a clubhouse cancer who has never jived with his teammates ('That's my QB' rant, notwithstanding). Plax has always been very well liked by his teammates, the problems he brings are mainly self-imposed. I mean, he was hanging out with his teammates the night he shot himself, can you imagine TO going to a club with 3 of the other guys on his team? I'm pretty sure he and Rothlesberger were roommates in Pittsburgh and Big Ben was pissed when the Steelers let him go. So again, I don't think he's the team killer that he's made out to be.

So the question is, can he schedule his jail time around the season, and I don't seen any reason why he couldn't, looking at Jamaal Lewis as a precedent. It's true they're going to try and make an example out of him, but society certainly isn't served any better by him not playing football and earning 3 million for the year and then paying his debt after the season. There are only so many competent 6'5" receivers in the league, we'd be foolish not to consider adding him for a year on an incentive laden contract if he can play 12 games for us this year.
