The Facts:
Burress has been indicted on two counts of felony criminal possession of a loaded firearm, both of which carry mandatory minimum terms of 3.5 years. He also has been indicted on one count of reckless endangerment, which entails a mandatory minimum sentence of one year.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The move means that Burress will, absent a plea bargain, face a trial. ... No trial date has been set; Burress' lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, previously has indicated that his calendar prevents him from being available until March 2010. So, as PFT's Mike Florio notes, the next question is whether commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Burress indefinitely until the case is resolved and any jail term is served. Two years ago, Goodell did just that with Mike Vick.
