08:04 AM ET 06.08 | The Dolphins are reportedly not interested in Plaxico Burress, and we can also add the Browns to a list of teams that would take a pass. Burress, 33, has missed two full seasons while serving 20 months on an illegal firearms charge after his loaded handgun went off in a Manhattan nightclub and struck him in the leg. When the NFL lockout ends, he can sign with any team. Clubs mentioned as possible suitors for Burress include Philadelphia, the New York Jets and St. Louis. Browns coach Pat Shurmur, speaking Tuesday at the Browns 12th annual Cleveland Browns Foundation Golf Tournament at Firestone Country Club in Akron, indicated the Browns feel pretty set at the position. "I feel like we've got some veteran receivers," he said.

He did say "some" not enough ...but I doubt he goes there I think they want their younger guys to progress a bit more with McCoy -plus they have a lot of empahsis on downfield run blocking too

The Browns have enough issues.

Tomorrow they'll tell us the New York Yankees and the Montreal Canadiens don't want him, either.

Isn't this the point where Drew Rosenhaus tries to convince everyone that "multiple teams" have expressed interest in one of his clients? It worked with T.O. and the Bills a few years ago.. maybe Buffalo is ready to be Buffaloed again?

He'll wind up with one of the usual suspects like Buffalo, Cincy, Oakland, St. Louis, etc. Not much news here.

Hm I think we could make one up ....Buffalo, Dallas, New England, and Oakland possible landing spots:
