New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress will not attend practice until he gets a new contract.

“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. I’m not saying I’m being mistreated, [but] Everybody wants to be treated fairly.”

The Giants can win games without Jeremy Shockey but they can’t afford to lose Burress. If they’re smart he’ll get a new deal soon.
