The Panthers haven't made contact with free agent WR Plaxico Burress.
In a radio interview with WFNZ in Charlotte Monday, Burress said he wants to play for the Panthers in 2012. "My brother lives right there in Charlotte, my cousin lives there in Charlotte, and all my family is there in Columbia, South Carolina. ... Not just that, but playing with Cam, who I think is one of the top five quarterbacks in all of football," Burress said. "I just think it's a great situation." There's no reason to think the Panthers agree.
An extra fire arm in the clubhouse is special too.
