Background:

Background: Plaxico Burress had a gun problem, Michael Vick had a dog fighting problem. Both are assumed to want to play in the NFL. Not only do they gotta find a team willing to sign them, but they gotta hope Roger Goodell (NFL comissioner) don't suspend them from playing. So which one of the troubled football players will sign with a NFL team first? They don't have to play, just looking to see which if either gets signed to a NFL team first.

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

NEW YORK (AP)—Former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress was indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges for shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub and faces a minimum prison sentence of 3 1/2 years if convicted, prosecutors announced Monday.

Goodell’s office announced in June that the league already had started its examination of the shooting, and NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday’s indictment “will be considered as part of that review.”
