The Facts:
GM Jerry Angelo's door remains open when it comes to adding a veteran wide receiver. Bears players would like to say "come on in" to Burress. On Wednesday, Angelo kept open the possibility of fortifying the position. "I can't say that it's 50-50 or anything like that," he told the team's Web site. "We plan on going into training camp with what we have right now."

As Sun-Times staffer Brad Biggs suggests, Burress could be the final piece in a vast reshaping of the roster over the last two months, keyed by the April 2 trade for Jay Cutler. It was shortly after the deal that Burress told a radio listeners Cutler had made what amounted to a recruiting call. Why not? Burress has big-play credentials and would instantly take pressure off Devin Hester and the unproven first- and second-year players Cutler otherwise will count on. "I feel pretty comfortable with what we have here right now," Hester said. "If we added Plaxico Burress, that's only going to build confidence even more. Why wouldn't he help us?" Well. ... Aside from the fact he's likely to be in jail?
