Pittsburgh Steelers

edit
Burress during an interview

After being selected in the first round with the eighth overall pick in the2000 NFL draft,Burress went on to play five years with thePittsburgh Steelers,amassing 261receptionsfor 4,164 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six fumbles over the span of 71 games.[7]Burress was featured on theMTVshowTrue Life,documenting his rookie season.[8]His rookie season saw him on the wrong end of one of the NFL's most infamous gaffes.[9]

Ina game the Steelers eventually won 24–13,Burress caught a 19-yard reception, with his momentum causing him to fall to his knees.[9]The rookie Burress then spiked the ball, believing the play was dead (since that is the rule in the NCAA but not the NFL) but, since he was not touched while he was on the ground, the ball was still live—allowing theJaguars'Danny Clarkto recover the fumble and run 44 yards with it.[9]

He first broke the 1,000-yard mark in his second season, gaining 1,008 yards on 66 receptions. Burress's best season with the Steelers came in 2002, when he set his career highs for receptions (78) and yards (1,325), to go along with seven touchdowns. Burress's 1,008-yard season in 2001, combined withHines Ward's 1,003 receiving yards, gave the Steelers their first pair of 1,000-yard receivers.[10]The two would combine to accomplish the same feat in 2002.[11]

In2002,Burress appeared in all 16 regular season games and caught a career high 78 passes. On November 10, 2002, Burress took advantage of an extra 15 minutes of play to set a Steelers' franchise record with 253 receiving yards in a 34–34 tie against theAtlanta Falcons.He caught nine passes and scored two touchdowns in the game, and nearly won it but was stopped at the 1-yard line as time expired. Also in 2002, Burress played in his first career playoff game, accumulating six receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown. He finished the season with another career high 1,325 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.[12]

He finished2003catching 60 passes for 860 yards and four touchdowns as the Steelers went 6-10 and missed the playoffs.[13]In 2004, Burress caught 35 passes on 60 targets for 698 yards and 5 touchdowns through the regular season.[14]He got his first career playoff win when the Steelers defeated theNew York Jetsin theAFC Divisional playoff game20-17. During the game, he caught two passes on seven targets for 28 yards.[15]He scored a touchdown in his first and onlyAFC Championshipappearance on a seven yard pass fromBen Roethlisbergeras the Steelers ended their season losing to eventualSuper Bowlchampions theNew England Patriots.[16]

New York Giants

edit

On January 23, 2005, after a playoff defeat, Burress announced his intentions to leave the Steelers. On March 17, he signed a six-year, $25 million contract with theNew York Giants.[17]

In his first season with the Giants, Burress caught 76 passes for 1,214 yards, helping the team earn an 11–5 record and first place in theNFC Eastas well as theNFC's fourthseed.However, they were shut out 23–0 by theCarolina Panthersin theopening roundof the2005–06 NFL playoffs.

In the 2006 season, Burress managed a career-high ten touchdowns but fell short of the 1,000-yard mark, appearing in only 15 games and struggling with a groin injury for much of the year. The Giants lost six of their last eight games and fell in the NFC Wild Card playoffs to the NFC East championPhiladelphia Eagles23–20. Burress had a touchdown catch on the opening drive and finished the game with five receptions for 89 yards and two touchdowns.

In 2007, Burress was the Giants' top receiver with 70 receptions for 1,025 yards, despite not practicing all season because of his ailing ankle. He also set a franchise playoff record in the NFC title game inGreen Baywith 11 receptions for 154 yards as the Giants advanced toSuper Bowl XLII.

InSuper Bowl XLII,Burress caught the game-winning touchdown pass that made the score 17–14 in the Giants' favor over the undefeated (18–0)New England Patriots.He gained a measure of "Super Bowl legend" by predicting the Patriots would lose by the score 23–17.[18]

Before their May mini-camp, Burress and his teammates were invited by then-PresidentGeorge W. Bushto theWhite Houseon April 30, 2008, to honor their victory in Super Bowl XLII.[19]

Just before the start of the Giants' mandatory Maymini-camp,Burress had said that he would not participate in the camp because he was upset with his contract.[20]He attended the camp to avoid paying a fine but refused to practice with the team.[21]Although he was slated to receive $3.25 million for 2008, Burress felt underpaid compared to other star receivers.[21]After indicating that he might hold outtraining campas well,[20]he joined, but practiced very little, claiming his ankle was injured.[22]

In September 2008, Burress did not show up for work on a Monday and could not be reached by phone for two days. On September 24, 2008, the team announced that Burress would be suspended for the game on October 5 for a violation of team rules.[23]

This was not the first time that Burress had been temporarily suspended by an NFL team—in May 2004, he was suspended by the Pittsburgh Steelers for failing to show up for a Monday team practice. On October 24 he was issued four fines totaling $60,000 for the following reasons:

  1. $20,000 for post-game comments regarding officiating—specifically, inappropriate comments on officiating.
  2. $20,000 for unsportsmanlike conduct—specifically, verbal abuse of the head linesman.
  3. $5,000 for throwing the ball in the stands.
  4. $15,000 for slapping a referee in the face.
Burress with the Giants in 2008

Burress signed a five-year, $35 million contract extension prior to the season. However, it was an incentive-laced deal, with $11.5 million in non-guaranteed base salaries in the contract, non-guaranteed roster bonuses of $3.5 million, non-guaranteed escalators of $5 million based on performance and $1.3 million in non-guaranteed workout bonuses among other things. According to various reports, the Giants would be able to cut or trade Burress after the season and get $23 million taken off their books.[24]

On November 2, in the second quarter of the Giants' ninth regular-season game against theDallas Cowboys,Burress caught his 500th career reception. On November 23, 2008, Burress started the game against theArizona Cardinalsin Arizona after being considered questionable with a hamstring injury. The first play of the game he had a 4-yard reception but it was called back on a penalty. Burress left the game and did not return in what would be his final appearance with the Giants.

Burress was released by the Giants on April 3, 2009, when it was apparent hisaccidental shootingcourt case would take longer than expected to resolve.[25]

New York Jets

edit
Buress (17) with the Jets in 2011

Burress agreed to a one-year contract worth approximately $3.017 million guaranteed with theNew York Jetson July 31, 2011, after turning down a two-year deal from the Pittsburgh Steelers that was rumored to be valued at a little more than the Jets offer but without as much guaranteed money.[26]In his first game back in New York atMetLife Stadiumin a pre-season matchup against theCincinnati Bengals,Burress caught a pass fromMark Sanchezon the first play of the Jets' first drive, and in the second quarter caught a touchdown pass. On October 23, 2011, in a game against theSan Diego ChargersBurress caught three touchdown passes from Sanchez, tying a game career high.

Second stint with the Pittsburgh Steelers

edit

Burress re-signed with the Steelers on November 20, 2012, after injuries sustained byJerricho CotcheryandAntonio Brown.[27][28]On December 30, 2012, Burress caught a 12-yard touchdown pass fromquarterbackBen Roethlisberger.Burress had not caught a touchdown from Roethlisberger since 2004. On March 12, 2013, Burress signed a one-year deal to stay with the Steelers.[29]He suffered a torn rotator cuff during a practice on August 8;[30]on August 13, Burress was placed on the injured reserve list by the Steelers.[31]

Coaching career

edit

Arizona Cardinals

edit

On July 22, 2017, Burress was hired by theArizona Cardinalsas a coaching intern.[33]

edit

In August and September 2008,Totowapolice responded to two domestic disturbance calls at the Burress residence. At both timestemporary restraining orderswere issued that were later dismissed by the New Jersey state court.[34]

Accidental shooting

edit

On November 28, 2008, Burress suffered an accidental, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right thigh at the nightclubLQon Le xing ton Avenue inNew York Citywhen hisGlockpistol in the pocket of his jeans began sliding down his leg; apparently in reaching for his gun, he inadvertently pulled the trigger, causing the gun to fire.[35][36]The injury was not life-threatening and Burress was released from an area hospital the next afternoon.[37]Two days later, Burress turned himself in to police to face charges of criminal possession of a handgun.[38]It was later discovered that New York City police only learned about the incident after seeing it on television and were not called byNewYork–Presbyterian Hospitalas required by law. New York MayorMichael Bloombergcalled the hospital actions an "outrage" and stated that they are a "chargeable offense". Bloomberg also urged that Burress be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, saying that any punishment short of the minimum3+1⁄2years for unlawful carrying of a handgun would be "a mockery of the law."[39][40]Burress had an expiredconcealed carrylicense from Florida, but no New York license.

On December 2, 2008, Burress posted bail of $100,000.[41]Later in the day, Burress reported to Giants Stadium as per team policy for injured but active players and was told he would be suspended without pay[42]for the remaining four games of the 2008 regular season for conduct detrimental to the team. In addition, the Giants placed Burress on their reserve/non-football injury list,[43]meaning he was ineligible to return for the playoffs. Burress was also scheduled to receive $1 million from his signing bonus on December 10, 2008, initially withheld by the team.[44]TheNFL Players Associationfiled a grievance, saying the team violated the collective bargaining agreement and challenging the suspension and fine received by Burress.[45]A Special Master in arbitration subsequently ruled that the Giants must deliver the entire $1 million to Burress, as per the collective bargaining agreement. "To think that a player could carry a loaded gun into a nightclub, shoot himself and miss the rest of the season but get to keep his entire signing bonus illustrates one of the serious flaws in the current system," said Giants co-ownerJohn Marain a statement afterward.[46]

On December 23, 2008, a search of Burress's New Jersey home by theTotowa, New Jerseypolice, theNew York Police Department,and investigators from theManhattan District Attorneyturned up a 9 mm handgun, a rifle, ammunition, and the clothing believed to have been worn by Burress on the night of his shooting.[47]On June 12, 2009, Burress's attorneyBenjamin Brafmanannounced that he had been unable to reach a sentencing agreement.[48]

Burress asked a Manhattan grand jury for sympathy during two hours of testimony on July 29, 2009.[49]On Monday, August 3, 2009, prosecutors announced that Burress had been indicted[50]by the grand jury on two felony counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and a single count of recklessendangermentin the second degree, a misdemeanor.[51][52]

On August 20, 2009, Burress accepted a plea deal that would put him in prison for two years with an additional two years of supervised release.[50]His sentencing was held on September 22, 2009. Burress hired aprison consultantto advise him on what to expect while in prison.[53]In January 2010, Burress applied for and was denied a work release from prison.[54]On June 6, 2011, Burress was released from a protective custody unit of theOneida Correctional FacilityinRome, New York,having served 20 months.[55][56]

Civil lawsuits

edit

Burress had a civil lawsuit, filed on December 8, 2008, inBroward County, Florida,in which Alise Smith claimed that Burress's $140,000Mercedes-Benzcollided with the back of her car. The suit claimed that Burress was liable for causing permanent injuries to Smith. Burress's car insurance policy had been cancelled three days before the accident due to nonpayment of the premium.[57]In 2012, he was ordered to pay Smith $159,000, which he eventually did by May 2013 after a judge had ordered the sale of his mansion in Virginia Beach.[58][59]

In January 2010, Burress was the defendant in acivil lawsuitbrought against him by aLebanon County, Pennsylvaniacar dealer, who claimed that Burress was given a leasedChevrolet Avalanchein return for promises to appear at publicity events for the dealership. The dealer claimed that Burress never returned the car and never attended any publicity events; the damaged car was eventually returned after beingimpoundedby theNew York Police Department.Burress acknowledged that he was responsible for some of the damage to the car, but asked a jury to determine the amount.[60]On January 15, 2009, the jury returned a verdict awarding only $1,700 to the dealer, who had asked for damages of up to $19,000.[61]According to the Associated Press, Burress has been sued at least nine times since he joined the NFL in 2000.[62]

Tax indictment

edit

On April 30, 2015, Burress was indicted by the State of New Jersey on charges that he failed to pay nearly $48,000 in income taxes. Burress filed his 2013state income taxreturn on October 20, 2014, for which he submitted anelectronic transfer.According to the State Division of Taxation, the transfer failed to go through. Burress was notified multiple times in an attempt to collect the tax debt, including viacertified mail,but never responded. The indictment made him the first person in New Jersey to be charged under a new state law which treats bad electronic money transfers as a criminal offense, equivalent to writing bad checks.[63]

On December 7, 2015, Burress entered into a plea agreement in a hearing atMercer CountySuperior Court,admitting guilt in failure to pay $46,000 in taxes on his 2013 tax return (a year in which he earned $1 million in income.)[64]Burress faced up to 5 years' probation at his February 5, 2016 sentencing hearing. He received a conditional 364-day jail sentence, was placed on probation for five years, and ordered to repay $56,000 in penalties and restitution to the state by Judge Pedro Jimenez in Mercer County Superior Court. He will not go to jail if he follows his conditions of probation. Although he avoided prison time by pleading guilty, failure to pay the amount in full by the conclusion of his probation could result in Burress's incarceration.[65]
