The Facts:
A day after signing a new $25 million contract, halfback Brandon Jacobs said the only thing the Giants need to make another run at a title is Plaxico Burress. “We have to hope Plaxico Burress gets out of all the issues he has going on there legally,” Jacobs said Thursday in a conference call. “If he can get out of that, we can bring him back and I think that is basically all we need, to be honest with you.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Burress’ future very likely will be decided in a New York City court room in about a month. The 31-year-old faces felony charges of criminal possession of a weapon in the wake of a nightclub shooting in November in which he accidentally shot himself in the right thigh with a handgun. A conviction could result in a prison sentence ranging from 3 1/2 to 15 years. The Giants are open to his return -- depending on the outcome of the trial (and any disciplinary measures imposed by the league).
