The Facts:
The Giants and Burress neared a settlement Friday in which Burress will agree to a one-game suspension but have the financial penalties he faces after disciplinary action reduced. If the settlement is reached, Burress will still miss the Giants game on Oct. 5 against the Seahawks but he will lose just half of the $235,294 he is being docked for a two-week suspension.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As a final condition, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Giants would agree not to pursue action against Burress seeking any bonus money he could owe under a forfeiture clause in a $35 million contract extension he signed just before the regular season opener. Under the clause, Burress could lose a portion of his bonuses if he is suspended or fined for conduct detrimental to the team. Burress was suspended Wednesday for a violation of team rules.
